Dare To "Be Dif'Rent": ReadNex Poetry Squad Celebrates Diversity In New Vid
"This is for the Black kid in the mosh pit with the mohawk"... Tired of people judging you and telling who the fuck you should be? Poets/MCs/activists ReadNex Poetry Squad aren't having it either and are telling you to "Be Dif'Rent" in their inspiring new video. When asked about what moved them to write this song, they told us: "In our society (...), image is everything but what they don't tell you is that it's all perception. To be Dif'Rent is often perceived as a bad thing. And because we are told it's bad we often shy away from it and follow the norm. To Be Dif'Rent means to embrace yourself for who you are and be comfortable within your own skin."
Definitely sounds like a plan. The group is all about making a difference and speaking out on social, race, gender issues. The video features some of the youth they have worked with over the years in their Hip Hop and Poetry Saved My Life workshop. Check it out!
