00:11Hey, BMW. Call free to dream. Peace. What's up? I just finished my fitting for Ebony Power 100.
00:20How's it going over there at the park?
00:22Things are moving on real smooth. What's your ETA? The kids are excited to see you.
00:27I should be there in a few. I'll be there in less than five minutes.
00:33I started Free to Dream with a passion and a love for the community.
00:38And that came from me being a kid and I always was dreaming of the world like knowing I lived.
00:47And I didn't know how that would be that the world would know that.
00:50But I found it in music. I found it in art and culture and through activism, through acting.
00:58When I would go home to Chicago and see all these young people with all this potential,
01:04I would talk to them and they would say things to me.
01:06I'm like, these people are brilliant. Some of these kids are brilliant.
01:12That's what made me start Free to Dream.
01:16The first community crusade I saw was my mother.
01:20And I saw her doing for the community in ways that was outside of what the school had just said,
01:27this is what a teacher is supposed to do.
01:29It was an extra effort. It was nonstop.
01:32And I looked at her and was like, man, my mother is doing it.
01:36I saw her doing it for people who didn't have.
01:39And that was inspiring for me.
01:41And when I reached a level of being out there and reached some of the dreams that I had,
01:48I felt it was my duty.
01:51I owed it to the communities to come back and create that opportunity for other people from the communities.
02:00Being a leader means there's no excuses, no downtime.
02:04And I need a vehicle that I can trust on that same level.
02:09It's not about the titles.
02:12It's not about how much money you got.
02:14It's about how you show up.
02:16How you show up for people.
02:18How you show up for the communities.
02:21Service is your rent that you pay for your room here on earth.
02:30I love you.
