"Stop Your Bullying" Anti-Bullying Initiative!

Many are called, but few are chosen! I am one of the few who have been chosen to lead and carry out the vision that God has given me. I received a phone call from the Marketing Director at Newton High, Quinita Morrow. The school is located in Covington, GA which is about a 45 minute drive outside of Atlanta going south. She said a student of hers learned about the suicide of a 15 year old girl named Amanda Todd. This young girl took her own life because she couldn't handle or didn't know how to handle being bullied. Quinita asked me to help her coordinate some kind of awareness event about this situation. After the call, I did my homework and after learning more about Amanda Todd, I was so compelled to help. Amanda is one of many cases about young children and teens committing suicide in relation to being bullied. A vision comes from a specific burden you have. Once the burden came over my heart to help, God gave me the vision. He showed me exactly what to do... You the many relationships I have, I started an anti-bullying initiative called "Stop Your Bullying."

About the "Stop Your Bullying" Initiative..

“Stop Your Bullying” is an anti-bullying initiative, a pledge rally campaign, created to raise the awareness of students in schools of the causes and effects of bullying their peers. It shines a light on the severity of teens committing suicide because of physical and cyber bullying. “Stop Your Bullying” partners with high profile community leaders, music business professionals, activists, actors, artists, athletes and entertainers who have a platform that would aide in encouraging students between the ages of 13 to 21 to make a free pledge to stop bullying.

Barack Obama 2013 Inauguration Speech [Full Speech]

I was amongst the millions in the National Mall on Monday, January 21st for President Barack Obama's 2013 Inauguration. I don't remember much about previous inaugurations, probably because I was too young to care, but I will say that I am a proud American. I love my President! It felt really good to witness history being made and I wouldn't trade the experience in for anything. If you missed the President's inaugural address, I have the full speech below!

Bonus Vid: We were out there to see our President, but we also could not wait to see Beyonce sing the National Anthem. She kept it real classic and looked GORGEOUS might I add! Check out King Bey below!

Unsigned Hype: Joe Fn Cool on "Why the Rap Game Needs Him" w/ ThisIs50.cm

I've been following this dude's movement and grind since I first met him in 2008. He's evolved over time into a being a little brother to me! Joe Fn Cool's got mad skills and can probably give the hottest rapper out right now a run for his money.... There aren't too many NEW rappers who actually have skills and can freestyle.

ThisIs50.com recently caught up with Joe to discuss his talents, what he has going on right now, working at McDonald's (lol) and why the game needs him... Check it out!

 

 

Bonus Video of Joe interviewing with MTV, Sirius Satellite Radio and his sponsor LRG!

 

 

I have an eye for raw talent.. It's a gift. Follow my ninja Joe Cool on Twitter: @JoeFnCool
