Some friends of mine are coming out with a show that looks to be a very positive thing especially for the younger generation.  Read the Press Release below and share the information with others.

You all remember Justin from the reality show "Baldwin Hills" on BET. Well now the young green-eyed cutie has partnered up with Gracey, who is known to be one of the biggest in promotion in Los Angeles, who is also called Miss. Diddy by all of L.A., to reach youth on a dynamic level as never done before. Justin and Gracey (her younger brother is heart throb Tristan Wilds from CW 90210 series), currently are working on a show that targets Teens from the age group of 16-25 about everything that involves them; Music, Fashion, Topics, Information, Food, Guest, Politics, Business, Finances etc. A show that this generation feels reflects the absolute Best and the Struggles of them. The two youth leaders are also working on a High School tour to help address real and significant issues going on in neighborhoods, schools and going on in teenagers minds and actions. "We've always had a real passion and love for teenagers, they listen to us because we deal with the same struggles, be it gangs, relationships with parents or just identity crisis going through life" Gracey says, describing her and Justin. Both highly active in their youth ministry at their home church Faithful Central Bible Church, where Kenneth C. Ulmer is Bishop. While Kirk Franklin is the youth pastor, leaders like Justin "take over" when Kirk is back home in Texas. "Its time to love our generations below us, and give them Hope, they are the Future" stated by Justin. Get Excited because you will see a lot from these two in the near future.

Driver of Bentley Riddled with Bullets on 101

2 comments

A man was found on the 101 Freeway slumped over his steering wheel this morning at about 3:30AM. Witnesses approached the vehicle after it struck a median, many believed him to be drunk. Witnesses then discovered the driver had been shot. Many bulletholes were found in his passenger side door and window. No illegal items were found so authorities don't know if this was gang or drug related. The man was in critical condition at press time, and because of the impending investigation the 101 North was shut down until about 11:43AM, including the 5 & 10 connectors. Spotted this story over at Can & Kan's spot. They have a few more details that I don't.

MAMA I MADE IT (Sort of...) - EAZEE GETS BLOGGED

3 comments
So today is mom's bday...and ironically her son (one of your favorite "bloggers") gets blogged about today.  I've had homies send me shout outs...but it feels pretty good to actually get a write up (small but cool) about myself, my endeavors and my blog.  I'm not into promotion of myself (personally) on my blog but I thought this was worth mentioning.  My fam Ken Billups launched his blog today and surprised me with his first Community Spotlight being me...so check my writeup  over there NOW!!!  Ken Billups is very active within the local community with various programs that benefit the youth.  It is that passion to help, serve and create change that makes him a valued colleague.  So check out his blog everyday after you leave here (or include him among your blog stops) and see what he has cooking.  Expect a good amount of substance and thought provoking posts that relate to our Los Angeles communities and beyond; as well as some more informal thoughts of a young man residing in LA.  Thanks again Ken.  And be on the lookout for Ocean's LA & their 3rd Annual Holiday Gala(website up soon).  The grand upscale event raises money for Ken's non-profit: CLIMB Inc.  This non-profit creates several programs to assist inner city youth in Los Angeles County.

VOTING POLLS' PROBLEMS...

0 comments
So I've already started getting text messages about voting mishaps today...a road in North Carolina that many African Americans use to get to the voting station is closed off, in Florida the machines are all of a sudden eating up ballots and in Ohio there are ballots missing the Presidential category. Now as big as we are on technology...we couldn't catch these problems or get around them. Many people are being told that now their votes won't count...WTF?!?!?!?!! And this just in from my youngest brother: 2 polling stations in South (Central) L.A. had a power outage and voters had to be moved. They better keep the polls open longer to accomodate this foolery ('cuz that's what this is). Go here for the story about the power outage.
