“What if I told you you’re perfect? Perfectly imperfect”
—by Janell Edwards, Rajah Goldstein, T’Nia Napper & AFM

Inspired by the legacy of Motown’s artistry, activism and entrepreneurship, WHAT’S GOING ON is a full-length album of original student music, in which young people respond to what’s going on in their own lives.

The album was created through a unique year-long collaboration between LiveConnections and Philadelphia public high school Hill-Freedman World Academy.

“Perfectly Imperfect” is one of our favorite songs on the album, an example of how powerful the voices of young people can be.

Your gift makes this possible.
