Colored Entrance….
When I saw this picture, something ignited inside of me that rarely happens. An emotion of sadness, and a built in reaction, that we live in a different world. Yes, we are evolving in a culture that once dominated discriminating against someone because of color, gender, social status, and even responsibilities. The thought of being treated fairly by the content of my character, once again is being plagued by societies need to judge. Judgement gives the character of you being right and someone else being wrong. When this character is exemplified by a group, it is distorted, and borderline racist, yet gives the one who is judging, Power.

L3GACI, understands that, Culture and lifestyle strongly affect behavior . One’s lifestyle is a collection of behaviors and habits that one is surrounded and subjected to. One’s culture is the setting in which one acts out behaviors and habits that make up one’s lifestyle. Just for one moment, imagine yourself in this picture. Not black or white, man or woman, child or adult, but a human being. Now look at the sign. If you belong to a group of people who judge others, watch this….

I truly hope your perception of judging others changes, and you stand up and take a positive action in your community, and not one of separating yourself. It’s your L3GACI, what are you leaving behind?

Jesse Boykins III

Singer-songwriter Jesse Boykins III mixes vintage etiquette with Internet eloquence, romantic visions with an instinct for presentation, and soulful performances with overseas plane tickets.
His breakthrough came in 2008 with the release of Dopamine: My Life of my back, an LP that included the hit song Tabloids which hit #2 on the Billboard Video monitor. His second album,Beauty Created, confirmed his talent and opened the door for collaborations with the likes of Theophilus London, The Foreign Exchange, Melo-X, Machine Drum and Phantom Lover.
Jesse’s ever growing worldwide following is explained by his constant flow of quality work, often the product of organic collaborations that spark within his multi-talented group of friends: Video director Dr. Woo, singers Melo-X, Mara Hruby or the style bloggers at Street Etiquette.
In a quest to discover more than what meets the ear, we spent some time with Jesse and picked his brain – and his heart – about the process that goes into his art.
