Hi Friend!

Earlier this year I launched The Renaissance Project™ as an attempt to establish a cooperative national network of young minority leaders from various industries, so that we all could be of greater service to our respective communities. Due to the power of social media, our efforts have gained international interest and I’m proud to announce that I have been selected to serve as the keynote speaker at the Mr. and Miss Westlands 2015 competition in Nairobi this December.

This event was organized by the Zion Family Nissisi Chapter Outreach Program in conjunction with Fashionpreneur Kenya  to create an outlet for the youth living in slum villages who have interests in pursuing a career in the performing arts. Granted, there are children in the United States that are just as disadvantaged and discouraged as those I’ll be speaking to in Nairobi, and I’m already working with community leaders in my area to create other programs like this that will keep our kids off of the streets and prepare them for success— but I realized that all children of the world are of equal value and deserve a fair chance at a fruitful, productive life. 
 
I want to do my part to make sure that the next generation of creative artists are encouraged to live life in full color and I believe that this platform will help me and my team do just that. 

Your donations will help us achieve our goal of raising $12K towards travel and lodging, in return we’re offering some amazing gifts like the #OperationKenya t-shirts, mugs, appreciation plaques, and production credit for the documentary.  It is my sincerest hope that this project will serve as a spark that lights a wildfire in not just the youth of Nairobi, but for all those participating and those who will view the finished product.

Again, I never thought in a million years that I would have an opportunity like this, and taking on a project of this magnitude is as overwhelmingly amazing as it is terrifying. I don’t want to let anyone down or fail on my commitment to appear, so it is with great humility that we seek your financial aid.

Sincerely,
