Because there are some children that had not stepped foot into a stadium before yesterday evening.
What better way to introduce them than to usher them in by @thebraveeffect.
Look at the smiles, laughter, and chanting!!!!!!😊
What better way to make it all possible and be able to provide backpacks 🎒 for back to school than partners like @hcsherifftn and Sheriff Austin Garrett. #chattanooga #positioning #reentryisalifstyle #communityempowerment #networking #lifestyle #prisonreform by @thebraveeffect

As long as the culture continues to see Mental Health as the issues of individuals outside of their households, they will remain in the crowd who states that it “is REAL”, versus owning the “REALITY.”

Some people show up, and some people give everything.

Last Saturday, October 10th, for Unpacking the Backpack, our brothers Tana 9.13 and King Klown didn’t just perform or make an appearance—they poured their entire souls into our community.
What these two artists brought to the room is something you don’t see every day. They stepped up with an unmatched level of bravery, radical transparency, deep vulnerability, and fierce advocacy for mental health. Opening up like that isn’t easy. It takes an incredible amount of strength.

Yet, they traveled back to their hometown to do the heavy lifting—helping pull our youth and families out of trauma and guiding them into a healthy, thriving mental space. They gave more than anyone could have ever imagined, proving what true community love looks like in action.
Tana9.13 and King Klown, thank you for honoring our city with your truth, your art, and your hearts. The impact you made last Saturday will ripple forward for generations. 🖤💪🏾
