The teen community in Saint Louis and other urban cities are dealing with issues such as rising STD cases, rising numbers of dropouts, more violent crimes committed by teens and other issues such as obesity.
Yung Ro started Runway 2 Empowerment, named after his newest release "Runway Chick", as a way for teens to get access to the education and prevention they need while dealing with those issues.
It was created to empower the teen community and bring a positive movement to address the tragedies that plague the teens in Saint Louis
-Did you know that only 85.5% of students graduate each year in Missouri?
-Did you know that St. Louis is one of the leading cities in the country with new cases of STDs?
-Did you know that in our youth between ages 12-19 about 17% are considered obese?
-Did you know that St. Louis was listed the #4 most dangerous cities in the country in 2008?
Frustrated by the actions of his peers, Yung Ro started this program. He recognized that his generation is spiraling down the wrong path. He decided to take a stand and help bring the change that is needed in the teen community. "We need to have pride in our lives, our future, and ourselves."
