Hi, my name is Albie, and I am proud to say that I have been involved with the 21UP Movement since the Choices music video. I still remember that day like it was yesterday, the energy Perry Blake brought with him was something that I had never seen before. Perry spoke with such passion, and you could tell that he genuinely cared about every single young person in the room. He asked us all about our passions and what we wanted to pursue in life, and before we knew it, he was creating all sorts of opportunities for us.
As someone who was a bit older than the other young people in the room, I told Perry that I wished I had someone like him around when I was growing up. He reassured me and said that he wanted everyone to have the opportunity to elevate in life. I told him that I wanted to be a comedian, and he told me to work on a pitch. The next thing I knew, he had arranged for me to perform in front of a crowd, and I have never looked back since that day.
I am forever grateful for the opportunities that Perry and the 21UP Movement have given me. I have been on live radio, attended studio sessions, and helped out at various events. Being a part of the 21UP Movement gives me something to be proud of, and it gives me a purpose in life. Perry helped me believe in myself again, and now, I want to strive to help others do the same. I am proud to be a part of 21UP Movement and to have Perry Blake as a mentor and role model. I know that the impact of the 21UP Movement will continue to be felt for years to come.
