Operation Street Kidz, a creative grassroots effort in Los Angeles under the leadership of Commissioner Josof Sanchez is making difference in lives of youth across inner cities of LA. The group recently teamed up with executive producer Baby Bash and directors from Kanye West music videos – “Through the wire” and “Jesus Walks” to bring a rare experience for high school students at Blair High School in Pasadena for students to learn and experience what it takes to be media entrepreneurs..students learnt various facets of film making and also auditioned for a chance to appear on the upcoming music video shoot for Jasmine V produced by Baby Bash.

4entrepreneur.net ( and YCEN Young Creative Entrepreneur Network ) is exploring ways to introduce entrepreneurship among youth in inner cities of Greater Los Angeles. Email us at [email protected] with any feedback, creative suggestions and potential partnership/sponsorship opportunities.

    Hi Jay,

    Thank you for including our project on your website! I ran across it unexpectedly through Twitter. Your website is really great! We have a great group of artists, also from Blair and Pasadena High School, who painted a beautiful backdrop for one of the scenes in the music video. They are interested in developing a clothing line…looking forward to reading more about youth entrepreneurship.
    Thanks again,
    Julie
