Looking for a great book or a documentary, better yet a movie all about Hip Hops Graffiti writing culture.
Below and behold there is a list of dope movies that will make you feel immersed in letters.
Documentaries that take you through the history of the subcultures, dropping you off in the ’70s and ’80s at the beginning of it all. Flipping your fingers in pages of must need books, that brings you across the world or to your local neighborhood writer.
Child of this Culture is proud to collaborate with local community project, "Las Semillas"

Testimonial by Cindy Foley
On the morning of August 20, 2012, I received a phone call from my sister, Candy, that would change my life and the life of my family forever. My brother died by suicide. I felt heartbroken, shocked, grief-stricken, and in disbelief.
As a survivor of suicide (what they call a family member or friend of someone who has died of suicide) I cannot even begin to answer the many questions that followed the impact of the loss of my brother. What I can tell you is the answer to a few questions you might feel if you are in a dark place emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Yes, you will be Terribly Missed.
Yes, you are Special to me.
Yes, you are Loved.
Yes, there is Hope.
Because You Matter.
