For many child abuse and sex trafficking survivors, as well as former child soldiers, the false notion that it is somehow their fault is one of the most challenging obstacles they face.

A new campaign called It's Not My Fault is providing motivation and resources for people around the world to report abuses and get help. 

Here's the campaign song and video by the founder of It's Not My Fault Lamont Hiebert (aka Ten Shekel Shirt).

Hip Hop is a global youth culture like the world has never seen. Although mainstream Hip Hop in North America has become mostly just entertainment the global culture remains more true to Hip Hop's roots as a voice for the people, a reflection of reality and struggle and the empowerment of expression and community.

No one represents this better that MV Bill and the Hip Hop scene in Brazil. One of the main Hip Hop events in Brazil every year is the Hutuz Festival founded by MV Bill where all aspects of the culture get to shine. The festival ends with a massive concert that proves once again the people of Brazil know how to celebrate!

4REAL City of God with Mos Def and featuring MV Bill airs today on Link TV.

Mos Def reflects on the power of dreams after filming 4REAL City of God with MV Bill.

MV Bill knows the power of having a dream. He also knows the power of believing in yourself, to go for it and live the dream into existence.

Inspiring kids to dream and helping them make it happen is what MV Bill's organization CUFA is all about. For kids growing up in the favelas of Brazil having that support can often be a matter of life and death.

4REAL City of God with Mos Def airs on Link TV this Wed at 7:30 ET / 4:30 PT.

4REAL City of God, September 1, 4:30PT / 7:30ET on Link TV.

In 4REAL City of God, Sol Guy takes rap star and actor, Mos Def, into the infamous favela (slum), City Of God, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.

There they meet up with Brazil’s top rap artist MV Bill, himself the product of City of God, who has, over years, become an outspoken voice for the youth of the favelas. MV Bill shows Mos and Sol how he’s using hip hop to speak to young people and empower them with life and community skills, including classes in B-boying, video production, basketball, graffiti art, and theater.

This Wednesday, 4REAL Kenya featuring K'NAAN, will air on Link TV at 4:30 PT / 7:30 ET. Here's the story...

In 4REAL Kenya, host Sol Guy takes international hip hop star K’naan into Kibera, the largest slum in East Africa, where they meet local hero Salim Mohamed. Salim shows them Carolina for Kibera, the medical clinic he helps run, and the community development soccer program he coordinates for over 4,000 kids.

A seminal event for both 4REAL and K'NAAN was a trip to East Africa to film K'NAAN's first music video. The video was for his song Soobax, which expressed his angst for the chaos and violence in Somalia that expelled him into life as a refugee. And what better place to film it than East Leigh a community of over 600,000 Somali refugees in Nairobi, Kenya.

4REAL Haiti airs today on Link TV at 4:30 PT / 7:30 ET and next Wednesday it's 4REAL Kenya featuring international music sensation K'NAAN.

Not only did a remix of K'NAAN's song Wavin Flag inspire the globe as a theme song for the World Cup, another remix featuring many of Canada's top artists raised over one million dollars for Haiti.

You can still support the Young Artists for Haiti campaign by downloading the song or video.

"If you have come here to help me, then you are wasting your time… but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."  - Lila Watson

This quote perfectly articulates the spirit of 4REAL. We're not showing up with a celebrity to 'save the day' in any way. Quite the opposite, in a global media culture that puts celebrities at the top of the social pyramid we're flipping the script by showing these celebrities humbly looking up to the REAL celebrities in our world - leaders creating solutions to some of the most challenging issues of our time.

4REAL is as much of an effort to share with viewers the incredible inspiration these leaders and communities have to offer the world as it is an effort to bring more attention and resources to their struggles and initiatives. It's a global exchange because we're all in this together and more than ever we need each other.

This post is a shout out to everyone that's offered assistance to Haiti in a global exchange of respect and love and it's a shout out to the people of Haiti whose legendary spirit of self-determination, dignity and exuberance in the face of endless challenges is a testament to the power and possibility in us all. Even with the extreme challenges that Haiti faces now it's certain that the people will rise to the challenge and become all the more resilient and determined.

The Haitian Health Foundation featured in 4REAL Haiti has a number of effective programs to promote the health and well being of the rural communities they serve. These programs have become all the more crucial after the January earthquake.

One of the programs that that can really make a long term difference for an entire family is the Give-a-Goat Project. For $150 you can set a family up with an ongoing source of nourishment and income.
