“[The goal is] to educate my people on how powerful we are and what we could become as a people if we all heal from that trauma, hurt, and pain we experience and tap into that potential many try to keep us oblivious to,” Aubrey Omari said. 

Continuing with his acting to complement his musical aspiration, Aubrey Omari is currently filming Black Boy Summer, a short film he wrote about what it means to be young and black in America. 

“Whether you from the hood and make it out, or you still in the hood trying to get out, or even well off, Black in America is Black in America. No matter who you are, you are looked at differently/seen as a threat. That fear that many have of our people has caused a lot of black lives to be slain in cold blood. My film touches on everything you could think of regarding this & more” Aubrey Omari said in a statement to the press.
