Epps acknowledged the city’s issues, including crime and youth disengagement.
“I think a lot of our children are bored and lack constructive activities. It’s crucial for city leaders and community members to come together and create opportunities for them,” he said.
His goal with the concert was to provide a creative and uplifting experience for families, while imparting a message of self-love and aspiration.
Reflecting on his own upbringing in Indianapolis, Epps spoke about the challenges he faced and how they shaped his character.
“I come from a tough background, and it’s important for me to help others who are struggling,” he said.
The event also included food trucks, a vendor village, and various health services such as dental care and vaccinations. Epps hopes to make this community concert an annual tradition, continuing to support and uplift his hometown.
