Diamonds in the Making - Lowertown 2019
Channel: Awesome Arts en folie
Date: 13/05/2019

Over the course of three months, former Ottawa poet laureate Jamaal Jackson Rogers collaborated with a group of talented youth to write an original song exploring their hopes for the future. The song was recorded with professional artist Le R Premier to a beat by Quest. Professional filmmaker Randy Kelly worked with the youth to create this music video.  
This was one of eighteen programs offered to all ages that took place in the Spring of 2019 during the 9th annual Awesome Arts program in Lowertown. This program was held in partnership with the Lowertown Community Resource Centre's afterschool program: Transitions. We are very grateful for the support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
