SKIDROW CARNIVAL OF LOVE

THIS IS SO COOL.... WHEN I LOOKED UP JUSTIN BALDONI, I REALIZED HE CREATED SOMETHING CALLED THE SKIDROW CARNIVAL OF LOVE. I LOVE THIS, AS A CLOTHING MAKER WE GET ALL OF OUR FABRIC IN THE FASHION DISTRICT OF LA, WHICH IS ALSO CALLED "SKIDROW", AND DRIVING DOWN THE STREETS IN THAT PART OF TOWN IT IS A BIG WAKE UP CALL, WHEN YOU REALIZE HOW WE TREAT PEOPLE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. AS AMERICA WE LOOK DOWN ON OTHER COUNTRIES FOR TREATING THEIR PEOPLE POORLY, BUT SKIDROW IS BAD, IN A COUNTRY SO ABUNDANT WITH EVERY RESOURCE, WE SHOULD BE DOING BETTER. THE MORE WE DRIVE THROUGH THE MORE IT DRIVES US CRAZY THAT WE AREN'T DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT HONESTLY THESE DAYS IT'S REALLY HARD TO HELP, A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS ARE BUSINESSES, AND WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE REALLY HELPING THE PEOPLE NOT FOR PROFIT BUT BECAUSE THEY WANT THESE PEOPLE TO DO BETTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE THAT ORGANIZATION. CHECK IT OUT THE WAYFARER FOUNDATION RUNS IT AND I HAVE ATTACHED THE LINK FOR THEM.

weloveyouskidrow Thank you Justin Baldoni and everyone involved in bringing Skid Row Carnival of Love 2016 to life. I'm so glad I got to be part of such a heartwarming and eye-opening event filled with love. MUSIC Kaskade ft. Ilsey - Disarm You (Illenium Remix)

A good chunk of Justin's wonderful speech to the volunteers before opening up the Carnival. I spent the day there as a guide and had an amazing time. I'll be back next year! Keep a look out at the end of 2017 to register to volunteer for next year.

JUSTIN BALDONI

I GOT WOWED TODAY, OUR FRIEND POSTED ON INSTAGRAM THAT HE HAD WATCHED THE TED TALK WITH JUSTIN BALDONI AND IT WAS AMAZING, SO, I HAD TO CHECK OUT THIS GUY, HE IS APPARENTLY AN ACTOR, BUT I WATCHED IT ANYWAY, LOL. I WILL NOT TELL YOU ABOUT HIS TED TALK, BECAUSE I HAD REALLY NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS ABOUT, IT WAS A REALLY PLEASANT SURPRISE. JUSTIN SEEMS TO BE A REALLY AMAZING PERSON, AND NOW I AM A FAN, AND I ALSO WILL HAVE TO CHANGE UP MY GAME A LITTLE IN MY OWN LIFE BASED ON A FEW THINGS HE TALKS ABOUT, I REALLY ENJOYED THIS LITTLE VIDEO, IAND I KNOW YOU WILL TOO.

Justin Baldoni wants to start a dialogue with men about redefining masculinity -- to figure out ways to be not just good men but good humans. In a warm, personal talk, he shares his effort to reconcile who he is with who the world tells him a man should be.
