Jumakae, I'm so glad that you're serving as a mentor to kids coming up behind you. You're a great role model, both as an artist and as a human being!

Thanks for covering
The event was a success due to grassroots effort to provide relief for survivors of the Haiti earthquake. Great job, everyone involved, coming together as a community to help each other out, even those on an island on the other side of the continent.
