Change Gon' Come

'Street Literature', an award winning music video featuring RYSE youth, uses the power of narrative and counter-narrative to illuminate the pain felt by young people of color as judgment escaped those implicated in the deaths of young black men.

"Change Con’ Come" is a follow up video focusing on young people's struggles to make changes in their own lives and avoid the fate of others like them during encounters with the police. “As a community member, it’s important to show we have the ability to change society’s perception of us. As a director, I feel it’s important to show what young people see everyday. In this way, my work addresses the question, ‘How can you be down for change if you don't know what needs to be changed?' Change Gon' Come addresses how we plan to change within ourselves to help change others.” This video is the latest from the RYSE Center.
