I've got something to shout about, to scream about, and I've got to let you know what's on my mind. I was blessed to cross paths with the owner of
Neke Theater, a beautiful organization that teaches children great things including acting, singing, and how to open up to people.
It keeps kids off of the street. When I learned of this great opportunity I immediately said that
Urban Candy Events would help if needed, and needed we are! There are great things planned for the Together We Can event next Saturday at
Operation Push and I can't wait. I'm talking face painting, fun, games, cotton candy, and children performing in the rear area of Jessie Jackson's Operation Push off of 50th and Ellis.
But I also know how hard it was to get people to donate to and sponsor this event.
Why do you think so? Why is so hard for some people to invest in the same teens that will nurse you in your old age? It really burns my biscuits when it appears these kids are being swept under the rug.
Question, are teens only important IF they are about to rob you or put a gun in your face? Because if they did do that,
put a gun in your face, I'm sure you would give up all the money.
So why not just share some of the money? I'm just asking. If you know a child bring them to have some fun.
Side note, had I not been in church with good friend and author
Nate Gray, I would not have made this necessary contact. Thanks Nate!
