Kerland Brown knows all about the negative stereotypes that African-Canadians face and their harmful impact.
That's why he's pledged to use his creative abilities to produce uplifting programs that will help young people, especially those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, find their place in society.
Through his multimedia organization, Elite Media, Brown launched a kids TV show, Gonna Be A Star, which will premiere on June 21 at the Marcus Garvey Centre in Toronto.
"I wanted to create an outlet for young people to express themselves in a positive way," said Brown. "Many of our young people are talented, but don't have an opportunity to showcase their talent for various reasons.
"This show will feature interviews that will bring out the articulation abilities of our youths, cultural performances, a music video and a family trip. It will be packaged into a 30-minute presentation that I know will present our kids in an uplifting way, which is something they deserve."
Brown's son, seven-year old Fairbanks Elementary School student, Omri Brown, is one of the stars in the TV show that also features 13 year-old award winning and critically acclaimed writer and motivational speaker, James Valitchka, who has published eight books.
His latest novel, Greater Expectations, addresses the many challenges teens face, including cyber bulling and teen pregnancy.
Filming took place recently at the Town Talk restaurant in Toronto.
