Day 26 Speak Against Domestic Violence

The other day, I have to say, that I was very taken by the reaction that a gym of girls gave to the group Day 26. I always hear about people running the artist down trying to touch what ever they can and passing out because they where so moved or because they got to meet the person. “Day 26 came out and motivated over 300 teen girls about the danger of domestic violence and how to stay away from it. “If he Hits you Run, Run, Run,” is what Willie told the young women who could not stop screaming and crying. The guys who where in town to promote there sophomore “Forever in a Day”, which will be released April 14, 2009  and wanted to give back to the community so they got up with “Its Cool To Be Smart”. The Group spoke to 11th and 12th graders at McNair High School on issues that affect young women with domestic violence and empowering young women to be queens. The guys really moved the young women, who got to ask any question that they wanted. 

Q, one of the members in Day 26 surprised the teens by stepping into the packed and full audience as he took time to quiet the young ladies down so they could hear the powerful message. I have to say I was kind of scared for his life after watching the young women do what ever they could to cop a feel, but he ain’t never scared is what he told them.  Before ending the discussion Will said “dont’ stay in an abusive relationship, get out and run to find help”.  The girls at Mcnair really enjoyed the discussion with the group one of the young women told me “Mr. Freddyo please let them know I love them and how much it means to me that they would take time to come to my school” she also said “this is my number please pass this to Q, I will be 18 next month”…. LOL SAD
