“What’s love, without investment?” We reclaim our narratives through multiple means. Music, is one powerful way.  The Black Care Experience, an authentic, young-people centred charity, keep raising the bar whilst staying true to the vision - young people thriving in Care. In February, we as attendees, were so blessed to hear a live performance of this original song, at this year’s Black Care Experience Conference.  Now, to see the manifestation of the song, recorded and produced into a music video is so inspiring, uplifting and just what we need. Where are the true advocates for young people at? Shout out the founder, Judith AM Denton LLB (Hons), CeMAP, Cert CII for actualising this calling and Ric Flo for setting levels! 👑. Deep the bars!
