| Introduction | We have all been through some things, tough things, rough things. Big or small, they shape who we are and what we've been through changes our perception of things. Sometimes we don't have a voice to speak on the violence, rage and pain. Suppressed and oppressed by those who are supposed to protect us. We need a voice. We need to be heard. We need to get involved. UP is our chance to unite and stand up for what we believe in and help one another as a community. It takes the hood to save the hood! |
