How much blame can we place on the youth themselves? What do race and class issues have to do with it? Well, let me tell you: This performance nails every part of it. Every. Part.

Talk about collaborative efforts. Youth Speaks and the UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations have come together to lead The Bigger Picture Project (it's on Facebook!), which is a campaign against Type 2 diabetes.
