This episode features DJ Jahmar International, a local here in Tucson who’s career as a professional DJ has given him the opportunity to expand into Native communities throughout the states. Not only does he spread happiness and cheer through music for any occasion, he and his team are committed to spreading awareness about homelessness and hunger. Jahmar is a big supporter for those in need throughout the city of Tucson and surrounding areas. His charity, DeeJays Against Hunger, provides essentials such as  food/necessities for those without the basic needs and adequate homes. In this episode we discuss his unique experience donating school supplies to students throughout the Tohono O’odham Nation. Jahmar describes his contributions as a pursuit to give back to his community and to those who often times get overlooked. He doesn’t do it for popularity or promotional reasons, as he shared in the interview, but only to spread encouragement and hope. His beliefs that no one person is above another, has influenced many who feel inspired to volunteer for charity events Jahmar manages.
