Ashanti Urges Youth To ‘Be Amazing’
Ashanti posed with fans following the unveiling of the “Be Amazing” billboard at Duffy Square on August 11th in NYC. The billboard featurs her childhood picture and an aspirational message – BE AMAZING.
The campaign aims to help increase public awareness and understanding about the key issues facing America’s youth, and the positive impact of the Boys & Girls Clubs.
Ashanti’s theme ties to her success as a performer. She learned to dance on the stage of the Boys & Girls Club in Glen Cove, Long Island.
“Growing up in the Club gave me the opportunity to explore many interests and talents, including dancing and singing, that have profoundly influenced my life,” said Ashanti. “The adult staff at the Club in Glen Cove challenged us to excel, and instilled positive values that still influence me as an adult. It’s an honor to join our alumni ambassadors in talking about the impact Boys & Girls Clubs have on young people, because I’m one of them.”
