Jordan Coleman

Ever heard of a kid named Jordan Coleman? Well this kid is a rising filmaker at the young age of 15. His film Say It Loud expresses the importance of education for young African American boys. It stars many of the idols that kids look up to today. Upon close observation, or obvious observation, Jordan noticed that many Afican American boys shy away from academics and put most of their efforts into sports and extra-curriculars. Jordan has traveled around the country premiering his film and speaking out to the youth. You may have seen him yourself, being that he's not far away from us. Jordan goes to Hackensack High School in New Jersey. You may also know him as the voice of Tyrone on the tv show, "The Backyardigans". He also appeared in an episode of America's Best Dance crew. What a kid! I' going to ask him to put me in one of his films.
