It's an event calling for unity and an end to gun violence.

We talked to the Lexington deejay who founded Unity Fest.

She said the event is needed now more than ever.

Amazing art, if that will be blessed.

In the days after Lyric Theater, a cultural arts center in the building.

We got a complete unity Fest countdown.

And when I tell you it, it's sizzling, baby.

It is.

The Lynch Unity Fest is an event where the community can come and stand in solidarity against gun violence in a safe place, and not only stand against gun violence, but can do it in a way where we celebrate life.

We've lost so much and so many people.

That Unity fest was created to highlight and celebrate life.

And for people of all different walks of life, different sides of the block could come together with their sisters and brothers, aunties, uncles, cousins and say, Hey, enough is enough and we want it to stop.

So we created a call and find a way to incorporate music and performances and just artistic expression while we stand together against gun violence.

But we are the voice of the people, real people, amplifying unheard voices.

Since I've been in Kentucky, I've lost several loved ones and friends.

And here recently.

Last year, why Unity Fest was created.

I told everyone it was worth that pain.

We were literally planning a funeral while we were planning Unity Fest.

We lost someone very near and dear to me and to my partner.

His name was Todd and he unfortunately was taken away from us on May 21st of last year.

I think now in a place with our healing and grief where we are just trying to do as best as we can to make sure we're being better people, to make sure that we are lasting more.

He was a big goofball.

He was the life of the party.

So I think everybody is trying to find a way to incorporate a little bit of tech into their lives and into the community.

And he loved music.

He was always when I would have shows in performances or freestyle videos, he was always the one.

The hype is like on the post and was like, You can't make it one day.

So I know he's shining down on us.

Unity Fest is not only in remembrance of him, but in remembrance to all of the families who are tragically lost their loved ones.

If my brother was still alive, like I know he'd be laughter from heaven.

Like who ever thought Cash would be a deejay?

Music is a great avenue and way to talk about gun violence because it is a safe space that you can use your voice to is music.

You can unapologetically express how you feel.

You can bring awareness and knowledge.

I do believe that each one of us as individuals can use our platform, can use our voices and amplify and stop making gun violence, something that people shrug, you know, when they begin to talking here about it and make it something that we can feel comfortable enough to talk about so that eventually we can begin to heal.

As a community.

Mental health is very serious and a great way to deal with mental health also is music, so to speak, as a.

The festival will be held tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at the Lyric Theater and Cultural Center in Lexington.
