Key Lewis: Grew up on the South-side, Oak Park, Meadowview, the early days of my childhood was a little rough, living with my grandmother till I was five, not knowing my biological mother. I was one if those kids that wanted attention, being silly, and always the center of attention, helped me deal I think.

Three former foster youth share their experiences with  Hathaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services   Transitional Independent Living Program. The program provides housing, job training and other support services to help former foster youth transition into successful adults.

For those who may already know, Bing Bing spent most of his childhood & adolescence in foster care. After emancipating from the system, he's received much help and resources from Hathaway-Sycamores Children & family services, a well respected organization that helps former foster youth transition to independent living. Today, Bing Bing is an alumni who has made a personal commitment to the advocacy of his fellow foster sisters and brothers approaching emancipation.

"Music is a beautiful thing. It brings people together regardless of race or religion. Let's continue to bring it together," says Bakersfield rapper Grimstyles , who's been inspired by the #BringingItTogether movement. Grimstyles performed at The Element: Hip Hop community gathering in Pasadena and took this picture with Bing Bing . Artists also in attendance were Imani Akil , J. Byrd , RD Peace , Maca , Speaker Creatures, Big Lyrik, and more. You know what they say, if it's cliche, it's probably because it's true. Grimstyles birthed the #NeverGiveUp tag on his journey battling cerebral palsy and still managing to become the great artist he is today.

Photo by Stephanie Cunningham Back in 2012, Bing Bing was met with Butch Thompson , Micwom , Tobi Hero , & Lyndrum at Pasadena Media's old facilities in the historic Hen's Teeth Square for a photo shoot around the time the group performed at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. Formally known as PCAC, Pasadena Media has since moved to South Los Robles, closer to the city's operational entities. 

The reason why Bing Bing is walking to help end Alzheimer's is not just because he lost someone close to him from this horrible disease. He's walking because statistically, Alzheimer's affects many of us and is significantly underfunded compared to causes like breast cancer, autism, and even charities that feed the homeless. In fact, the Alzheimer's Association isn't even in the nation's top 50 charities. Michael Bing Bing Taylor has been on a mission to make a difference for a few years now. Last year, he was able to raise around $150 to help find a cure for Alzheimer's, however, he was unable to participate in any of the walks due to unforeseen circumstances. This year, in 2016, Bing Bing is looking to raise a minimum of $1,000 to honor his mother and caregivers by joining the Grand Champion's club. "It's always emotional for me at these walks," says Bing Bing . "When I remember what brings me here, all I have to hold on to are me...
