Ozay Moore came to the Lansing area, wanting to create a sense of community.
“Where can I be best utilized in this new space,” Moore said.
By reaching out to youth in our neighborhoods through music.
“Hey we can have beat-making classes and kids can come and make beats but also have conversations around their place in the world,” Moore said.
His non-profit All Of The Above reaches out to over 200 students, across Everett, Sexton, and Eastern High School and soon to Waverly.
And thanks to a half-a-million-dollar grant from the state, the community impact is spreading out, with a location in downtown Lansing.
