Drake Spreads the Wealth with 'God's Plan'

When Drake’s label gave him an almost $1 million budget to create a video for his latest single, “God’s Plan”, he did the unexpected: he gave every cent away.

Throughout the video, we follow Drake as he surprises citizens of Miami with random acts of kindness and charity. He buys all customers in a convenience store anything they want, allowing shoppers to purchase not only what they can afford, but everything they need as well. Drake also gives a student at Miami University a $50,000 scholarship.

As the video plays, we see many people reduced to tears by Drake’s kindness. It is clear that those receiving the money are part of Miami’s struggling lower class and that they never in their lives expected help to come in this form. A group of children also find joy in the arrival of a new van for their daycare, something that will clearly open up a new world to them.

Drake did what most in his position never would. Through his actions in this video, it is clear that Drake loves much more than just his bed and his mom, and he’s not sorry.

How Miguel is fighting against Injustice on Tour

Sometimes making a difference is as simple as looking at what you’re already doing.

Singer/Songwriter, Miguel is currently on his War and Leisure tour. Before his performance began, a short documentary was aired education the audience on undocumented immigrants who have been detained in the Adelanto Detention Center in Los Angeles, the largest immigrant prison in the state. Miguel had visited immigrants affected by the center last year and hosted a free show to raise awareness of the injustices that abound in such environments.

After the show, we stopped to purchase merch. A portion of merchandise sales benefit the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, an organization that fights for social, economic, and racial justice.

Two simple connections that could make a huge impact on others lives.
