Eve Talks Mentorship
|
”There Are Tons of Little Black & Latino Boys Waiting”
Hip-hop veteran Eve is launching her musical comeback this year with her first album in eleven years. But as she preps Lip Lock for release, the Philly native spoke to HipHopDX about her work with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and revealed how much mentorship means to the youth. “I’m their celebrity ambassador, but my next single, ‘Make It Out This Town’ is pretty much dedicated to them. And we’re trying to figure out what to do with the proceeds to help them, but the other thing is that I want to lend my voice to try and get people to volunteer and mentor. What they need especially is black and Latino men, because there are tons of little black and Latino boys waiting on someone to come and mentor them. It’s started a little fire in me to want to help them out. It’s a dope organization and hopefully I’ll encourage some people to come and mentor.” |
