Singing.
Who Is Your Hero? Why?
My hero is my father. He is a retired colonel of the Memphis Police Department who became a pastor. He’s worked with the people to mediate peace between police and community. My Father’s willingness to help other has always made me want to do my part.
What is your favorite sound?
My favorite sound is the scatting of Ella Fitzgerald.

What do you love about this project?
The rallies that I’m involved with are all centered around the end of senseless violence, wherever they take place. I love being able to honor the legacy of my father through my actions.
