 Landrum inspired by a dance ministry, (Chosen International Praise Dance Ministry) decided at the age of 38 to pursue dance.  This was a way to reach out, touch and inspire others.  While assisting with the youth dancers, Landrum worked diligently with a team of young ladies to encourage youth with a performing arts summer camp. 
After a meeting to debrief discussing plans for an ongoing camp, Landrum found herself embarking on a journey that would bring her closer to her childhood dreams and push her further into her purpose.  As staff for a production that filled nearly 2000 seats, her family admired her sacrifice and dedication and were very proud!  Little did they know, she had assumed the role of C.O.O, as one of the founders of The Award winning Praize Productions Inc.

Dear Youth,
This was for you! My heart and soul cry for you because I truly love and want the best for you! I wanted you to take a moment to feel safe and unbothered while at play. I wanted you to know what it felt like to play basketball in the alley and football on the streets! Heck, I wanted you to know how it felt to watch Good Times and laugh without some special news break about another life being taken! Feel the snatch of big mamas loving hand while she encouraged and scolded simultaneously! Didn't that soul train line make you feel like there wasn't a care in the world! In effort to help reweave our communities by focusing on our own blocks, we need a Ms. Biles watching and making sure our block is beautiful, a Miss Kindred to keep us in line by watching everything going on to keep us safe and parents, grandparents and teachers working together to make our Neighborhoods a better place! It's not about Ms Ro but about the work that has to be done so no matter how cliche, there is no I in TEAM! Let's continue the work of creating memories and guiding youth to purpose!

Rocherr Landrum (Ms. Ro)
