Jennifer is preparing to produce her first major project Can I Live Block Party Chicago a music festival scheduled at 58th Street and Prairie Avenue Summer 2015. The purpose of this event is to present hip-hop culture and music to youth and adults in a peaceful and engaging way. This project is a gift for the South Side of Chicago. This event, the first of many, will use music as a tool to help empower those individuals who have lost hope by bringing the arts and a true cultural experience to deprived neighborhoods.
