This is not a normal blog that I would write but it's something that I felt I needed to write. Growing up in a town that's only 4 square miles we had a close knit community. Everyone knows everyone in some way, shape, or form so you have to understand when Dwight "Heavy D" Meyers died everyone that lives or once lived in Mt. Vernon, NY felt the pain. You may not have personally know him but he affected our community in so many different ways. Being a pioneer of hip hop he was also an inspiration to us. He put Mt. Vernon on the map and never turned his back on us. Because of his unselfishness he helped pivot many careers. I remember being a little girl and seeing him drive down the street in his red truck (he was like the ice cream man). We would cheer and yell like OMG!!! that was Heavy D. When he made it we made it. We was so proud of him, he showed us that hard work does pay and we too could make it. With this said, even to the day that he passed he continued to be an inspiration tweeting "BE INSPIRED" just hours before he passed. In memory of him we all need to BE INSPIRED!!!
