Fear and Fragility
“Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” —Yoda Fear, the cancer of the 21st century. Fear has caused more death and suffering than anything in our entire history. Fear has caused wars to erupt, nations to fall, and has birthed atrocities into existence.

Society
Humankind, we have come so far from where we began all those years ago. We have joined together to build with common purpose. Look around at what we have accomplished so far. Great monuments and testaments lay in our wake. We must always ensure that those monuments honor who we are and where we want to go.

Purpose
What is the fundamental need behind expression? Is it identity, passion, being, knowing? What do we do with knowledge of ourselves and each other? What we dream and imagine, our choices shaping our path within spacetime, but where are we going, and most importantly why?

Identity and Expression
Expression takes on many forms, through colours and fabrics we choose our outward reflection based on inward introspection. We look within to our core, a kaleidoscope of feelings, thoughts, and dreams to see ourselves. From our hearts to our hands and down to our feet, we are born to move, to express who we are and claim that expression.

Love and Hip Hop
Hip hop, the musical heartbeat of a generation. Built from the work of trendsetters and visionaries. Over the years countless DJs, performers, and lyricists built a foundation of words. From those words a generation grew up listening to the rhythm and beats of the message.

We Are Alive: The Intricacies of Existence
Life, it surrounds us, lives within us and sustains us. Many people are alive, but most never get to live. Have you ever stopped to think about the miracles that surround us. Each day we walk on this planet teeming with life, yet we fail to see it’s wonders. That life takes on many forms but all share an evolutionary history of struggle.

Pride vs The Police
Recently I have heard news about police being secluded from marching in pride parades. I feel this is misguided as throughout our history we have struggled through oppression as a people, and as a culture. Those mistakes that hurt us, secluded us, and killed us should never be repeated by us.

Freedom
The western world, so much promise for us, and yet so much disappointment. At the founding of the western world a Dream was dreamed. That dream, that hope, birthed into existence by all the immigrants looking for a better life. Our ancestors left their countries for differing reasons, some to escape persecution or death, some for the promise of adventure, some for gold, but most so they could live free.
