The heartbeat of the city is often found in its streets, and nowhere is that more true than in The Bronx. From the rhythm of its music to the stories of its people, the borough pulses with a unique cultural energy that deserves to be celebrated.
This vibrant spirit is being spotlighted through a powerful new initiative: Roots In The Bronx, an interview series from the Renaissance Youth Center dedicated to honoring the culture, music, and inspiring stories that define this incredible place.
Kicking off the series, Episode 1 invites listeners into the world of Grammy-winning songwriter Ron E. In this first installment, Ron shares his personal journey growing up in The Bronx, tracing his path through music, and connecting his personal story to the mission of the Renaissance Youth Center.
Ron’s narrative delves into his experiences working alongside major figures in the music industry, including Chris Brown, Tank, Hitmaka, and Fabolous, illustrating the profound connection between the music created in the borough and the community that nurtured it.
Hosted by Bervin Harris, President and CEO of the Renaissance Youth Center, the program moves beyond just music. Roots In The Bronx is a sweeping spotlight on the diverse community leaders, artists, musicians, athletes, educators, and other inspiring figures who make The Bronx what it is.
The Renaissance Youth Center itself is a vital source of opportunity for the community. As a South Bronx nonprofit, it provides free and affordable access to essential programs, focusing on music, STEM education, civic engagement, and overall youth development.
The series serves as a testament to the rich legacy of The Bronx—a place where creativity thrives and where the voices of its people resonate powerfully. It is a celebration of the legacy, the culture, and the unstoppable energy that flows from the heart of the borough.
