Loraine speaks with Cora and Fred Reed, founders of Reed’s Refuge Center. Reeds’ Refuge Center is a community-focused non-profit organization committed to the holistic development and well-being of the children and financially afflicted families of the inner city of Delaware. Reeds’ Refuge Center (RRC) serves as a safe haven from violence, drugs, guns and idle minds by helping youth to discover their creative potential. They provide youth with an outlet to express themselves and seek inspiration in the arts. Daily, we provide nearly 100 youth with a safe-haven to protect them from their local inner city communities. www.reedsrefugecenter.org

Finally an interview with up and coming artist LGP Qua who recently donated 10K and 300 Puma sneakers to students at Edward T. Steel Elementary School. Loraine talks with Qua about his journey from the Nicetown section to working with artists like Will.I.Am and his effort to send a positive message to youth through his music. A member of Parents/Staff of Steel School Nikki Bagby discusses an upcoming event to honor the contributions of LGP Qua to the community. Instagram @lgp_qua
