Across Boundaries

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:45:20 +0000

I am fortunate to be involved with a great organization out of Toronto called Across Boundaries. Across Boundaries is a mental health centre that provides a range of support and services to people of color in the Greater Toronto Area who are experiencing severe mental health problems/serious mental illness. The organization employs a holistic approach to mental health care and operate within an anti-racism framework. I am often invited to use my music to provide holistic therapy in this model for this influential organization. This unique and inspiring experience provides me the opportunity to guide individuals with music bridge issues of unity, understanding, piece of mind, and communal experience by working together to create something special.

Broad Way Sleep also features my partner in hip hop crime Arowbe Arowbe Arowbe and close friend Sarah Shafey. All this is produced under the masterful creation of Ralph Joseph, who is also the lead songwriter, executive producer and ultimately the driving force behind all of Broad Way Sleep.
