What We’re Thinking About
Greta Thunberg, a 16-year old Swedish teenager, continues to make noise as a climate activist even after sparking an international youth movement last year. As a climate activist myself, I find Greta’s story extremely inspiration and an example for driving change without being a high-profile celebrity.
Many of us are “closet” activists and change-makers, waiting for someone else to move the needle. Greta proves that you can deliver positive value to an ecosystem just by being persistent and bold.
While we may not create the international impact that Greta already has, we can still impact our local communities with our actions. All it takes is the guts to follow your gut and drive the change you wish to see.

We recently interviewed HighKeyRandom, a Boston-based rapper, and are excited to release his story later this week! Here’s a short introduction:
Often we take for granted some of the basic human rights afforded to us. One of them, as described by the United Nations in their Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is the freedom of movement.
This privilege, however, has not been afforded to Boston-born artist HighKeyRandom, who has been on house arrest since May 2019.
Though for obvious legal reasons our conversation did not touch on these matters, it has been inspiring to see Random’s resilience throughout this time.
Forced to delay the release of his sophomore album “The Gentle Savage”, he pivoted.
And so fresh off the heels of 2 mixtapes, 5 music videos, and 100s of demos — all produced within the confines of his apartment — FTJ called up one of Boston’s most prolific artists to catch up on the latest and greatest.
