traveled to Liberia in 2014. A dear friend, Ellie Walton

was there doing a documentary of the beauty and abilities of deaf children at a school called Hope School For The Deaf. I was sitting in one of the classes she was filming. The teacher was explaining to us what the children would say to the world if they would listen. Without thinking I started to sing to myself these words. "If you could talk with your hands and listen with your eyes, then you would really realize, I'm just like you". I forgot moments earlier Ellie had mic'd me to speak in her documentary and I forgot to take it off, so she heard me singing to myself in her head phones and turned and looked at me with this WOW face and nodded like "you need to record that". I reached out to Takun J and legendary Hip Hop artist in Liberia. Trade is the guy singing the chorus. I met him just walking down the street one day and he asked me what I was doing in Liberia. I told him I have a Hip Hop organization called Hip Hop Saves Lives. He said oh I sing, let's do a song. So, I hit him up when this song idea came. The song became a top charted national hit that we now are taking to the world! Video shot and edited by Ellie Walton.
