He explained that African children in Canada the reason they are falling into this whole gangster image is because they do not recognize who they are and where they came from.

“They bought a lie of where they came from and somewhere along the line we have to address the lie, remove the deception and live a different vision, a different portrait of what a young black man or black woman can actually achieve” he held.

Mr. Emmanuel Quaye, noted that, African Canadians and African Americans are trying to find their true identity. But many of them are still confuse as to who they are and where they came from.

He further noted “as a result of that some of our younger children are now finding themselves in uncultured and bad practices generation which is easy to find suffering assaults as a result of that they are searching for themselves through expression of music and arts.
