The work you continue to do in our communities is invaluable. ❤️ . . . . . #Repost @lifecampinc ・・・ Last night @theculturecreators hosted a #privilegetoast in honor of our founder @ericaford_ilovemylife. @iamhenroc @iamjoibrown @hennessy @kheperah Thank you for recognizing our legend and pioneer with the Change Agent Award 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 “It’s not about me, I can’t be who I am with out all the people who work with me... The success of our culture of hip hop is the same as the culture of the streets. We are there to make sure the streets stay safe, We are there to make sure they have a blanket when they come back from jail to keep them safe, so they don’t go back, we are there to reconnect them to their children. Just like Martin Luther King I had a dream” - @ericaford_ilovemylife 📸 📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸@noemadnyc thank you for the photos great event @iamjoibrown 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Love the work we are doing?
