It’s shameful that the people who protected us can’t be protected themselves.” Please join us for an amazing night of culture, praise, gospel music and fashion at The Locs 4 Life Fashion Show Charity Event at the Dominican Village Event Hall in Amityville, New York. This one-of-a-kind Gospel/Fashion/Cultural extravaganza will take place on June 30, 2012 from 6 to 10 p.m. This is the first step toward building “The House of Change” Residence for Homeless Veterans.

Jacob Kirton: CEO of Walk on Water Productions, writer and visionary of The 7 Scrolls of Shitorio. Jacob Kirton is a young writer born in the Bronx and raised in Farmingdale, New York. Studying various writing degrees including a bachelor for Creative Writing for Entertainment with Full Sail University, his early interests were varied from animation to cinema and included music. Upon reaching young adulthood, Jacob navigated his was through numerous social and emotional struggles. After experimenting with various controlled substances, he relocated to Bridgeport, CT, where he had a personal life changing experience. Sensing the need for something new, Jacob prayed and asked God to grant him a new path. While sitting in his living room holding the same razor blade used to chop out lines of cocaine to his wrist, he heard a voice say, "No, there are some people you need to talk to." Ever since that day those words have been the driving force behind everything that drives Jacob to succeed. Knowing that his previous destiny was not his own, he realized that it was not yet his time to go, but to create. At that point Jacob began the task of composing the "7 Scrolls of Shitorio", an original work of prose that details the life of a young warrior destined to defeat an ancient god written as an epic poem. An aspiring musician, Jacob also composes, writes and performs his own music under the guise of “Elijah The Prophet�. He has released an official album called Men of God with his M.O.G’z rap group and is currently working on his solo mix tape, Rooftop & Sidewalk.
Working in collaboration with Harold Booker Jr., the young Mr. Kirton has created a complex and heroic character in Shitorio. The story of a young warrior on a quest to dispel the world of an evil destined to enslave it. The artwork for Shitorio designed by Harold Booker jr. based off of Jacobs writing has a fantasy feel with sharp detail like the likes of the story within Shitorio. With the help of Jacobs mentor Kene Holliday, he was able to establish a link with the young gifted artist and they haven’t stopped working since. A unique work, "The 7 Scrolls of Shitorio" is sure to captivate audiences with its fantastic originality while building a loyal fan base. –“Shitorio to me is a representation of my survival. It is an example of me accomplishing sustaining my once despised life. I may go on to create and do other accomplishments but The 7 Scrolls of Shitorio will always be a reminder to me that all the are possible the help of God and a little faith.” – Jacob Kirton

Deon Leftenant is an American Veteran, he served his country well. But as a volunteer with the Northport Veteran’s Hospital and veteran residences, he became acutely aware of a prevalent problem plaguing our cultural sensitivities: a preponderance of homeless American veterans. On any night in America there are approximately 67,000 homeless veterans – most without any shelter or beds. They are in a very real sense – invisible. For Deon this is a shame beyond shames and so he is taking an action, standing up, and doing what he can to help those fallen heroes find the simple comforts we take for granted. The same comforts they risked their lives to protect for their fellow Americans. To that end, Mr. Leftenant of Deshalamar CDC 501-C3, is pleased to announce an amazing event: The Locs-4-Life Fashion Show Charity Event at the Dominican Village Event Hall in Amityville, New York.
