"Kyro5TV is a sole proprietorship that was started in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic by Alexis Arias who found himself playing call of duty with friends everyday during quarantine.

"Imigongo art is a form of art used with cow dung. It’s a tradition in Rwanda. Imigongo art originated in Rwanda where they used cow dung for art and added colors to it to make it scream out a message. Rwanda cleans cow dung with ash so that it’s less dirty. They also used traditional colors. During the genocide in Rwanda no one was really making imigongo art. Imigongo art shows parts and wholes of shapes and it also shows their reflections and rotations. In the shapes of imigongo art there are lines of reflection shows many sides there are in that shape is how many lines of reflection there will be."

Yari T. in Origins of Racial Slavery

Rich whites did this because they wanted to maintain social control and feared black and white servants coming together and starting another rebellion."

"TYWP was established in 2020 when I started to see the affect on youth who not only struggled emotionally and mentally but with substances, loss of housing and queer folks who had little to no resources for different health or resources needed. The Youth Wellness Program started in The Bronx since that is where I live currently as well as lived for a portion of my life."
