Sometimes, all it takes is one quick encounter to inspire someone. Mentorship and guidance is necessary for everyone, but especially for children and adolescents. During their fundamental years, they are incredibly impressionable and can easily slide into negative habits and crowds. Unfortunately, some decisions made early in life come with long-term consequences. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on the Compton Cowboys, an inspirational equestrian group that is a positive influence on Black American youth in California. 

I love listening to music, mainly because of the vast options, unique artists, and incredible vocal and musical performances. The numerous different genres ensure that there is something for everyone, no matter your background, environment, or personal tastes. Artists, producers, and musicians have shaped the industry by embracing their unique flair, opening doors for others aspiring to make it big, inventing new genres, and breaking into spaces that weren’t originally meant for them. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on DJ Quik, a legendary producer who not only influenced West Coast rap in the ‘90s but continues to be a major force in the music industry today.
