When I first heard about this project my mind immediately went to music. This year I made a goal for myself to explore music production and I knew this was a good opportunity. I knew I wanted to focus on bringing people together because I feel like music is a bridge that can connect people no matter what. During my first immersion this year I focused on what politics have done to relationships and it broke my heart that there was so much separation and anger within the world. Especially in times like this, we need our people to help us get through and we need to help others when they need it. An act of good to me could mean so many things. It could be donating food for those that don’t have any or simply smiling at someone walking down the street. One day I sat outside in a busy area just to observe how people interacted with each other and almost everyone walked past someone on the street without even making eye contact. I was talking to my friend Micah, and he was telling me about how he felt a strong connection to music as well and so we decided to partner together. We were talking about how music now is always sending a negative message and we wanted to stay as far away from that as possible. We decided to make a cover of “Where is the love” by The Black Eyed Peas. It talks about how the world is filled with hate and we only have one world so we need to keep it safe. My hope for the future is that we can all allow a little love into our hearts and continue to spread it out into our communities.
