"Over the Carnival Break I encourage all parents to sit with your kids and help them brainstorm about ideas for a video, help them develop a powerful message. This is a great opportunity for the youth and parents to begin discussing these issues. For those who are not comfortable discussing these topics with your parents, form teams and discuss it with your friends. These topics have become dominant in our everyday lives, and it is time to hear from the voice of the youth on these issues" said Youth Vybz member, Natalie Richardson.
