A trip down memory lane is an opportunity to reflect and see how far you’ve come. The journey may not be perfect but along the way, we reach back down to the fountain of youth and pay our dues. Akil Redhead has been a revered community leader on the east end of Toronto. Serving as a Black Mentor to underprivileged youth, he pays it forward from his predecessor Patrick Williams. This candid conversation was a passing of the torch for Akil as he reflects on his ladder years in Scarborough’s YMCA, and the great influence of Rap and Hip-Hop.
