"Filososphies from Da Hood"

EducationWho in the world is Lil Daddy? Lil Daddy is a 12 year old, black, cool, hip-hop, street-smart kid from the 'hood. He talks the lingo and wears the same style clothes of the youth of today. Though his t-shirt may be a little too big and his eyes are hidden by an oversized baseball cap worn backwards, there's something about him that makes him very special.

Growing up in today's society, Lil Daddy encounters the same typical problems and peer pressure that most younsters are faced with everyday. The way he handles these situations are through the quotations passed on to him by his parents, friends and elders of the community. Through these same quotes, Lil Daddy also helps his readers handle their difficult situations as well. These quotations sum up the purpose and goal of Lil Daddy, and that is "To attract the readers with his cool appearance, then give them something to think about."

SuccessProgressThe Lil Daddy's Filosophies from Da Hood cartoon panel runs in the News Star in Monroe, LA every Monday. Over the past several years, he has been admired by many people, young and old, rich and pooer, black and white. Everyone agrees that there is a desperate need for more positive role-models for the children of today.
