Local organizations N.E.W Boy, Inner Beauty Inc., along with We Can’t Breathe Inc., are pushing to put youth at the forefront this All-Star weekend with a “Voices Ignited” event.

The 16-year-old was among dozens of kids whose voice was uplifted at the Madam CJ Walker Legacy Center. "If you don't talk to anybody about your issues, rage builds up inside of you and you're going to go do something stupid," said fourth grader Karter Ballard. "Tonight, we want to integrate youth voice with also the stakeholders of the community and celebrities from all over the country so that kids can really say what their concerns are and mobilize on that,” added Chrystal Hines, the Founder and CEO of Inner Beauty Inc.
