RUNNING FOR A REASON is a non-profit organization started by Jully Black, Shaun Campbell and Desmona Cole, dedicated to enhancing the physical health of adults and promoting children’s fitness education. The proceeds of its initiatives are used to support health organizations making a difference in the fight against issues such as Juvenile Diabetes, Obesity, Eating Disorders and Cancer.

BLACK 2 BASICS (B2B)

Singer/Songwriter Jully Black has created a fun, full-body workout that will quickly make you sweat and burn those extra unwanted pounds. Just 21 minutes long, Black 2 Basics was designed to encourage women and men with busy lifestyles and little time to spare to honour their bodies by being active and doing something positive – with you, for you. Partial proceeds from the sale of Black 2 Basics will be donated to support health organizations dedicated to the enhancement of Children’s Health and the fight against Juvenile Diabetes and Obesity.

B2B for Haiti is an event geared towards lending our health for those in need. All throughout the day we will have phenomenal instructors leading great fitness workouts. Jully Black will also be personally leading her new 21 minute full body workout B2B every couple hours.

OUR GOAL: To raise $20,000 for Red Cross Haiti fund, by bringing people together to get active and have fun as well as provide a healthy and positive way to give back and offer hope to those affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

Inspired by their trip to NY, Unlikely Heroes (Lord Quest & Brisk), Promise & Element do what they do best.

Actually, if they ever did a proper hip-hop musical (sorry B, Carmen was horrible), this song would make for a pretty cool scene.

Another great example of the types of important youth initiatives that are going on in the city! Via SFA! This was posted back in October but the actual video release party is tonight (link to info below) so take a look BTS before the actual vid comes out online (this week I’m guessing….?)

SFA TV on set of SUN – Reach for the Sky. The song was created with students of the Lost Lyrics Youth Program (Jane & Finch division) which uses hip-hop as a tool for education and activism.

February is Black History Month (BHM), symbolically a time for reflection and acknowledgement of the historical achievements of the Black diaspora. During this time we get an influx of info about the notable pioneers of the past, but kudos to Up From The Roots and Six Ah We Arts Collective for paying homage to the pioneers of the present with their “Black Present: A Black History Month Celebration Of Excellence” initiative.

5 members of our city’s on-going urban legacy: Trey Anthony (Da Kink In My Hair); Dr Jay (Soca Therapy); Dameion Royes (Big It Up); Luther Brown (DoDat) & Dwayne Morgan (When Brothers Speak, The Makings Of A Man) will be honoured at this event taking place this Sunday @ Revival (783 College St).

We got sooo much present-day pioneers and history-makers in our midsts that we take for granted.

Good to see some local recognition happening.
