When i hear the phrase "Philly Support Philly" i get excited because i Love being a Philadelphian and supporting Philadelphia Natives. i volunteered to assist with Pope Francis visit not because i'm catholic, i'm not a religious person. i volunteered because i was able and millions of people from around the world was traveling to my city. i figured as a city we could use all the help we can provide. Plus Pope St. Francis of Assisi of Italy is the most powerful humbles man on earth, i had to be there for this historic moment in Philadelphia's history.
Bryan Carter
Bryan Carter aka B Ra Carter a Philly artist created "Main Course Philadelphia" magazine to build support for himself and other Philadelphia's artist. i believe we met on facebook some years ago through the advocacy that we are involved in. if i'm not nistaken, he was a guest on one of my recordings about domestic violence. i love that he is in his late 20's early 30's with a strong passion to build a Philly support circuit. B Ra knows that i'm willing to assist him if needed. September 23, 2015 i board route 18 bus on my way to explore the love at World Meeting of Families when i saw B Ra and over heard his conversation with another brother. i moved from the front of the bus to the section he was having the conversation and asked if i could record him. Please watch his video in this blog to hear the great conversation for yourself!!
We board the subway at broad and olney, B Ra was stll into a great conversation when a septa employee mentioned he had a youth program that is trying to reach our youth. Reaching our youth tends to be challening, maybe because our youth haven't experienced adults supporting adults. When i was in high school our teachers were supported by the department head. We all knew that was how our teachers were mentored. i also learned in high school the various levels of communication:
Adult to Adult
Adult to Child
Child to Adult
Child to Child
There were expectations of how to carry ourselves and where to get support. Not much sure what our communities are learning and passing on today other than fake is real. We the citizens of the city of Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection {for some that phrase has it's own meaning} let's get passed the insinuations and build on the common ground of being part of Philadelphia. We can and need to support one another!! #teamphilly2015 #YouMeWeUs #phillysupportphilly #YourInputMatters #IMatter #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork #215Aphillyated
