“I am moved by the knowledge that I know now, that I can take my pain, I can take it, recycle it and transform it into a source of power.”
That quote by Tony Jon Baptiste helps tell the story of Graham D’Souza, former gang member and gun shot victim. Through a Boys and Girls Club program, YELL, Graham managed to turn his life around and today is an emerging Canadian rap artist. Matthew Bennett’s evocative portrait casts a light on a very different part of Toronto: South-East Scarborough.
