The People Could Fly Project is a documentary arts project focusing on the dreams of young people across the African Diaspora. It follows the adventures of five sisters, ages of 7 to 21 as they travel across the US, Africa, and South America talking to young people about their dreams and visions for themselves and the world. Their work will culminate in a docu-narrative film about the journey.

As the daughters of an airline employee they've been able to fly many places, but felt it was imperative to share their experiences with others and to talk and engage with young people around the world about the power of their own dreams, their own abilities to make them reality, and thus their own ability to fly.

They have traveled to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Jena, LA, Connecticut, Detroit, Virginia, Nashville, TN; Washington, DC; and Mississippi talking, filming, photographing, and interviewing people of all ages about their dreams and are on the way to many other places.

They were inspired by a folktale told in the Americas about Africans enslaved who sprout wings and fly away. The story is found in children's book author Virginia Hamilton's "The People Could Fly".

Smile Big Charity is a life long dream of mine and when I was young I always prayed to god telling him that when I make my first million that I would give it to a charity well with a lot of thought I decided that instead of waiting and trying to earn a million I will make my own charity and have it be worth millions but not the kind of millions that we strive for each and everyday yes money but the kind that blows money out of the water and that is millions of smiles, my organization is called Smile Big Charity for a reason and that is why, but I would like to start out local and soon hit global and be known as a stable group and not only in the eyes of who we help but in the eyes of who has the same dreams to give them hope and let them know that with a little bit of determination and faith and passion you can have a beautiful dream come true. My organization that I have started is to help the less fortunate and to give back to the people. My main dream is to own my own Non-Profit Organization after I graduate from college and able to the majority of it myself and with this I have the blue prints in my head and also already drawn up on board for what I want my building to look like, with this in mind my organization will help out families in bunk houses and homeless, for example I will bring in up to 10 families and in my facility there will be room and board and jobs and education, with all this it is my goal to bring in rag clothes and turn them around walking out in a suit and tie or a formal dress with a job and education, the time they spend will be well spent and it can vary from a few months to a year. Now keep in mind this is my future plans as an official Non-Profit Organization so not for another 5 to 6 years if my goals fall in line correctly, but for now as a local group it is my objective to be heard and to help local charities while I am still funding mine by taking donations and starting my own organization with a building I am looking to rent in my town, I plan to start that off as a donation center anything from money to clothes and shoes and canned goods, so I can turn around and give back to who needs them the most. I have staff members to assist me at this point in time which I am grateful for and now I am looking for some more funding which is why I am here now writing this description of my dream and not only funding but to be heard and to let people in this world know that there is still hope and a young generation of people who are still willing to help. At the age of 6 I developed this dream and now I am 20 years old and I am acting on it. With the right support and mine and others determination I see this local charity of mine growing to be a global masterpiece. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I hope the best.
