This is something that you do not see everyday. A woman who has no child of her own wanting to give to the younger girls within her community. She tries to do as much as she can to give back to the children who are not that fortunate to get all they are asking for, so she gives what she can to bring that little bit of joy to these young ladies.                                                                      Snider is apart of other events with children that is in her day to day life.

She has been doing these things since the age of 21.

                                                                               Music has and will always be an influential part of our lives. People always use music as a form of escape, drown out, release, meditation etc,. Music is life as we may know it. The mere beat to certain songs gets us moving and  grooving. Bodies react to beats naturally; where it is a sway, bop or nod of the head, tapping of the fingers so, on and so fourth. People know beats when they hear them and as it continues to play it can at times take over your body and mind. The fact that music will always be around should be embraced. Many frown upon certain music due to the content that is within the music. Which can bring you to a limited variety, kind of closed minded don't you think? Every genre has its explicit content and then the non explicit which has a milder touch. The underground rap music has been here and typically it is not going anywhere. We all have our thoughts and opinions on any
