This song was put together by 3 young women, who decided to make a song about Black Beauty. Through all the negativity being spoken around being African American such as police brutality, social justice, equality and equity. We wanted to encourage young black people to stay positive, and to remember our worth and beauty. To stay unified and have perseverance through these hard times. Singer - Moyana Olivia Verse 1 - Aaliyah Demry Verse 2 - Naje Wright

Let’s save the animals now, they deserve to be treated with respect and kindness, they feel and it has already been proven, do not treat them badly that they have a pure heart they are like us, how it will feel that they sell you to Canada, put yourself in animal's shoes of today, how will it feel to see how them destroy your home, They if they feel, you will see if you have pets, try it and now, do not mistreat them who have hearts, they are faithful because we are not, if the dogs are faithful because we leave them outside because we leave them on the sidewalks? shouting with one, the change is made, stop thinking about it

My name is Sebastian Rodriguez and I am from Lawrence, Massachusetts. I am submitting a song for the Reach Festival (audio only). The song is called "Righteous" and I got inspired to write it after watching the movie "Pulp Fiction". If you haven't seen it, there is a character named Jules who is a gangster but struggles with a moral dilemma at the end of the film. The complexity of Jules' character really blurred the lines of what is good and bad for me and I just decided to write about it. He repeats a passage from the Bible called Ezekiel 25:17. The contents of that passage combined with Jules' character development begs the question, what should a "good person" do?

I wrote this song because the best gave a calm nostalgic feel. It brought me back to my younger days when everyone would always be outside daily. It’s things that have changed in so many ways. “No more bbq” is just a representation of how much things have changed in years. How kids now just in home playing video games our everyone just choses different paths in life and part ways. The song is to remind of those days when I would have fun but comes to an end.

My name is Ayden Gutierrez and I’m from Lawrence Massachusetts. I am submitting a song for the Reach Festival. My song is called “Sun and Moon”, this song is influenced by the 90’s rap/hip-hop scene and Joeybada$$. He definitely inspires me to better my skill. Originally there wasn’t much of a meaning I just wanted to express myself on a beat and be heard, but the hook is inspired by the end of Joeybada$$’s song “#Longlivesteelo”. My meaning behind the hook is that people limit your ability to pursue what you want and most times you should aim for greater achievements to prove to yourself you can do better.

This poem is based off of police brutality and quarantine. I combined these two together because I felt like they could be connected in a way. For example, this line There’s Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.” When police stop you can hide or run and in quarantine you are trapped with your mind

IN THIS SONG I TALK ABOUT SOMETHING I SAW IN SCHOOL, WHERE I REALISED THAT THE APARTHEID SYSTEM IS STILL IN OUR HEADS, WHERE I SAW A GROUP OF INDIAN/ PAKISTAN KIDS AND OF COURSE A GROUP OF BLACK KIDS REALLY SAT IN A SPLIT FORM, BLACK KIDS ON ONE OF THE CLASS AND THE PAKISTANI ONES ON THE OTHER. IT WAS'NT ON PURPOSE IT'S JUST SOMETHING THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH, THE SEGREGATION LAWS REALLY DID A NUMBER ON US. THIS IS SOMETHING I ONLY SAW AND EVERYONE WAS COMFORTABLE WITH SO THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE NAME OF THE SONG BEING "IN OVER MY HEAD" MY NAME IS PHILANI MBATHA (KiRA), I MADE THIS BEAT IN FL STUDIO AND I'M FROM South Africa's SCI-BONO CLUBHOUSE

Through all, there is a way out. Looking at the brighter side of things, when everything may not be ok. Life is a journey of highs and lows, and its important to be self aware and reflect as you're figuring out your journey. Regardless of the obstacle and struggle, you can find a way.
