On the set of Lil Wayne’s new video “On Fire” which was shot last week in Miami. Looks like it’s gona look dope, but where is “The Rebirth” already?

If you have no idea who Gavin Sheppard is, I suggest you watch this video, and do some research on him after. Gavin is the co-founder of The Remix Project which is a youth program that acts as an arts + cultural incubator in one of the most diverse cities in the world, Toronto, Canada.

I was recently checking out one of the coolest Toronto based blogs 1LOVETO and came across a video of the speech that Gavin Sheppard recently gave at the latest TEDxTORONTO event. More on the event below, but to anyone out there who is looking for motivation, inspiration, and who thinks that today’s youth is misunderstood by the system in place, please watch this video because Gavin is a brilliant speaker. When I played the video, I was shocked at how closely related my life experiences as a young individual in Toronto were to what Gavin described from his life. By the end of the video, I was left with nothing but inspiration and an open mind about the possibilities and opportunities of becoming successful, no matter what path you currently walk.

TED is an annual event where some of the world’s leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. “TED” stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. Past speakers include Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Sir Richard Branson, and Bono.

I have mixed feelings about this song, but some scenes in the video are dope from an “artistic” point of view, so I decided to showcase the video to yall.
