On December 4, 2021, Y.O.U.R.S. held our quarterly Hip Hop Healing Summit in collaboration with Street Corner Resources. a renowned community-based organization that combats violence in Harlem. The summit took place at Street Corner Resource and was hosted by Big Vegg. Panelists included Street Corner Resources C.E.O., Iesha Sekou, Royal C.E.O. Promoter & Public Relations, Mellissa Walker, Music & Film Producer, and Lashawn” Lulu “Lukes. The Women’s Edition focused on Hip Hop artists’ influence on youth and their communities. It also addresses the growing concerns about how music impacts consumers’ actions and behaviors. Suggestions from the panel are:
Artists need to promote positive images in videos and lyrics to prevent violence. Community members can hold artists financially accountable by not listening to and purchasing music that promotes violence in their songs, messages, and videos.

YOURS RSTAR Troubleshooter Stop the Violence Basketball Showcase
On August 29, 2021, YOURS RSTAR Troubleshooters Team converged at Marcus Garvey Park to host our first Stop the Violence Basketball Showcase. A basketball clinic was held with youth of various ages before the showcase began. Youth from Hudson Valley played basketball games with youth from N.Y.C. The event’s goal was to promote healthy physical activities to prevent youth from engaging in negative activities. N.Y.C. has had an uptick in violence, and YOURS believes it is essential to keep youth involved in recreation. The event is held in the memory of Y.O.U.R.S. Board President son’s, Roland Lashain Smith, a student-athlete who played basketball and football for Pine Bush High School.  Tragically he died during a sporting event. His family cherish his memory by developing the R.S.T.A.R. Troubleshooter Program.
