Since the Sean Anderson Foundation’s formation in 2012, the organization has always been aimed at helping youth. Next Saturday, August 7th, they’re hosting another weekend of events in Detroit aimed at helping youth in Big Sean’s hometown. These events are a part of the rapper’s effort to help Detroit children launch careers in the entertainment industry.
Planned events include live performances, health screenings, apprenticeship opportunities and carnival rides, as well as free food, haircuts and braiding. The nonprofit Sean Anderson Foundation was organized in 2012.
Sean will also be hosting a discussion the following Sunday that focuses on mental health and the stigma around it in the black community. Scheduled guests include psychiatrist Jessica Clemons and sociologist and author Michael Eric Dyson.
