Influences: OUR YOUTH!! I work with children everyday, trying to show them that there is a better life than what they can see. (Crazy times yawl....) All they know is street life and fast money, not understanding the consequences) But it is up to us as adults to show them the way. I love my babies!! Hopefully I can be a vessel for them, and show them that it is more to it than resulting to the craziness that the street life has to offer them SO YOUNG yawl. ITS INSANE!! BUT MAN DOES GOD HAVE A PLAN AND A PURPOSE! Like OBAMA made his own slogan, "YES WE CAN"!!, "YES WE CAN" change the future of our youth!! And it starts with us not giving up on them! REAL TALK!!
