What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
The inspiration comes from a program that Baba participated in when he was young in Brazil. The program had all kinds of activities for neighborhood kids; capoeira, samba, theater and more. It really helped keep kids on the right track. Baba's dream is to do something with the same impact here.
