If a picture is worth a thousand words,
Does that mean a video is worth a million?
I get a lot of questions from my family, friends and fans about this “411: Because I am A Girl” school tour. I figured instead of trying to explain what I do, as a Hip Hop artist, at this schools.. I would show you.
I am blessed to tour with a wonderful family of inspiring ladies: Nana (who is shown hyping me up in these clips, but she hosts the entire show!), Hip Hop artist Masia One, and the founder of The 411 & these school tour programs, Tamara Dawit. We even have our very own DJ – Kyle – who, besides tour managing, driving, doing our sound, and generally doing everything else, also reps “Because I Am A Girl” proudly.
A special shout out goes to the students of all the Ontario schools featured in this video: Marymount Academy in Sudbury, Brechin P.S. in Brechin, Cathy Wever in Hamilton, Assumption in St. Thomas, and Sioux Mountain in Sioux Lookout.
To the 18 schools that we’ve rocked for thus far: I will never forget your energy, your interest, your faces, and your stories. Thank you for sharing your world with me, and allowing me to share mine with you.
Rock, Rock On!
