• March 2020
Kerry O’Brien, known by many as, Lady MC was born into a world programmed to believe that being seen, heard and celebrated wasn’t a possibility for her, unresolved and unexpressed trauma lead her into dangerous situations, and was on her road to prison. Saved by Jungle Drum and Bass Music, became an award winning MC and artist, and with the support of mentors and opportunity to thrive, she turned disadvantage on its head, by transforming her pain into mission and creating a safe space and touching the lives of 18,000 young people through her Award Winning charity the Young Urban Arts Foundation.
