MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Getting Memphis children to focus on the future and overcome adversity.
That was the message of Heal the Hood Foundation’s 13th Living the Dream Community Empowerment Summit held Saturday at Overton High School.
Participants gathered to learn more about how to make the most of their talents, with training for dance, acting and music.
Among those who took part to help mentor the children were Natarsha Garcia – also known as The Starmaker - who has done casting for Disney, Nickelodeon, NBC'S The Voice, Songland, BET's "The Bobby Brown Story," and recently "Annie LIVE."
