Keith Lee's latest visit to Gary, Indiana is a reminder of what can happen when visibility turns into action and community answers the call.
After seeing residents of Gary struggling in the aftermath of the August 11 storms, Keith used his platform to bring attention and resources to the city. In just days, that call grew into a massive relief effort with 40+ food trucks, hundreds of volunteers, more than 10 companies and thousands of residents receiving food, cleaning supplies and other essentials.
Keith contributed $15,000 toward the effort, with Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton matching his donation for a combined $30,000. The Salvation Army, City of Gary, Ace Hardware and others also joined the effort.
Gary, we see you. 🤎
Someone from the same types of places made it out and is doing well. The everyday joe is going to look that artist for “guidance” in some way. And I didn’t say it was the best way
People saying that folks shouldn’t look up to rappers for their political beliefs. Artists make music that people find relatable why else would someone take into consideration what their favorite rapper thinks? Look at what they represents in most cases
Text my god daughter to tell her it’s going to be too hot for a silk press next weekend, no response lol. That’s fine waste your mamas money I warned you both 🤣
