The I AM
UNLIMITED campaign by Marc Ecko is an international movement
that highlights the limitless potential and pursuit of
greatness of individuals worldwide. Gavin Sheppard is the
co-founder and catalyst for The Remix Project, a youth
program that acts as an arts and cultural incubator in
Toronto, Canada, North America’s cultural capital. By
transcending the conventional "boundaries" of hip-hop, young
people aspiring to start careers in the urban arts sector
drive the program by creating personal development plans for
success giving them a firm start into their field(s) of
interest.
The 26-year-old mogul-in-the-making has been involved in
community development and the cultural industries
professionally since the age of 17 helping communities to
grow to their full potential. A member of Toronto's Mayor
Miller's community safety secretariat, Gavin is a strong
advocate for young people. His brainchild, The Remix
Project, has spawned branch-offs in South Africa, Brazil and
Colombia. He has also been invited to speak at
Harvard University on using hip-hop as a tool for community
development and growth, and has collaborated on consulting
projects with the United Nations Habitat Program.
