T.I. through his G’IVE Like a King’ campaign, will kick off joint efforts to support homeless veterans and Veterans Empowerment Organization of Georgia (VEO) through fundraising, advocacy, and public service.
T.I. will be on site for a special press conference and media event to discuss how and why he plans to get more involved with homeless Veterans initiatives; and share how he intends to inspire and engage his fans. Thought leaders and community advocates will also be on hand from across the state and region.
T.I. plans to use his voice to champion well-needed causes around the globe, beginning with Veterans Empowerment Organization (VEO), which services homeless veterans.

People sometimes tend to think, “if only I were a celebrity, everything
would be better”. It’s interesting how stars get annoyed when the paparazzi
takes pictures of them. As a consequence it can be contended the media is
directing many persons astray moving away from what
should be its aim of presenting discerning news and analytic thinking
of pressing topics for this celebrity frippery.
