Exlusive interview with Jermaine Crawford

Kids are people, too. And even though there comes a time where *most* of us look down on them and poke fun at their adolescent behaviour, we tend to forget that we used to be just like them. Seems so far away, and yet it isn't. What, only a few thousand days, depending on your age? We all used to cause mischief one way or another, talk back to our parents, get caught doing things we shouldn't be doing, skipping class, and disobeying orders. We were all once fanboys and fangirls of a particular musical act or film (and still are, in our adult years). But one thing I think most of us can't relate to, is being homeless...........

Have YOU ever been homeless?

I hope not. But it's an issue many youths face today - even though we're supposed to be living in a free and just society, where things like this happen only to poor countries. Regardless of what the government says, we live in a very wealthy continent, and it boggles my mind to think teens are living out on the streets. Kids resulting to prostitution and drug trafficking to make it through the night. This isn't an easy route for anyone who decides to run away from home, quite frankly it's the opposite. But the countless reasons why so many youth today decide to run away is horrid and unacceptable. Thankfully, there is a campaign out there gaining ground to help support homeless teens...........but it needs YOUR help.

Meet Jermaine Crawford. Look familiar? Maybe, maybe not. Jermaine starred in THE WIRE, and is now using his own resources to create CODE BLUE, a campaign to help get homeless kids off the streets. I had the amazing experience to talk to Jermaine about CODE BLUE, and how all his positive work is helping save our generation one young person at a time......and how you can help, too.

Enjoy.
