For kids.
Yeah, I think there's not a lot of African-American cartoons out there either and ones that teach and preach positivity.
So that's what I'm trying to get into that lane.
Nice.
That'd be awesome, man.
Is that what the foundation is about too?
No, foundation is about we have a free basketball camp.
We have an out-of-school health program and also a black history essay contest.
Nice.
