Say It Loud is a youth film that explores the importance of education for African-American boys. When Jordan Coleman was 10-years-old he became a voice over actor on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. show The Backyardigans; he's the voice of Tyrone the moose. Jordan's parents challenged him to use some of his earnings to make a positive contribution to his community ... he hired a film crew and began interviewing African-American boys and men for his Say It Loud film.

Hey Everybody:
My name is Jordan Coleman and I am 13-years-old. I made a film called Say It Loud and it encourages African-American boys, like me, to do well in school and study hard. It's whack when our parents tell us this stuff ---- blah, blah, blah, so I got a film crew and started taping what celebrities had to say about education.
My mom is a reporter so she helped me get interviews with celebrities that boys our age like and my dad was very supportive too. I interviewed Kobe Bryant, Ludacris, Busta, Michael Strahan, Terrence J, Vince Carter, Ben Wallace, Yung Joc, Hurricane Chris, Jadakiss, Swizz Beatz and Winky Wright.
I also interviewed Rev. Al Sharpton, Bronx District Attorney Mr. Robert Johnson and Newark Mayor Cory Booker, teachers, attorneys, police officers, businessmen, a bunch of boys my age, including my friends, and a few men who wished they would have studied harder when they were our age.
I put a trailer up on my website so you can check out what my film is all about. This summer, I plan to travel to different cities to show my film to audiences of boys in 4th to 9th grade and their parents. Say It Loud and tell your friends about my web site.
Peace,
Jordan
