🎶❤️ BE YOURSELF. CHOOSE LOVE. HOLD SPACE.

At the 2026 Bud Billiken Parade, Taylor Bennett received recognition for his artistry, but the moment that stayed with me was simple: he gave a child his hat, stopped for a picture, and the joy on her face said everything.

That is love in action. ❤️

In celebration of Lexi’s “ Divinity MiAmor “ Birthday, Crowned On Purpose NFP × Mental Health Meets Hip-Hop sponsoring this special event centered on music, mental wellness and the courage to BE YOURSELF.

🎁 The first 50 guests will receive a copy of Taylor Bennett’s new album.

As we recognize Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month, we intentionally hold space for everyone who has lost a loved one to su***de, those struggling in silence, and the families and communities continuing to heal.

Music can be more than entertainment—it can be an instrument for healing, connection and raising our vibration.

Be yourself. Check on each other. Choose love.
Your life, your voice and your story matter. ❤️🎶
