A man with positive vibes and humble spirits received the biggest opportunity of his life but it is not over. There is more in store for this young man on the move where he is walking by faith and not by sight. On Thursday, April 27th WSTU Radio’s The Checkin Radio Show was visited by newly actor Johnell Young to speak on one of the greatest blessing to affect his life today. Radio personalities, SyniC and Queen Reginee both congratulated him on his work while asking him about his lifestyle and where he sees himself going as a young, educated, black man.

“All Eyes on Me” is a Tupac Shakur Biopic that was filmed in Atlanta, Ga. Being that Mr. Young attends Clark Atlanta University and majors in Mass Media Arts, opportunities just fall out of the sky when being such a popular face with an optimistic spirit. Mr. Young was blessed enough to receive a role of this new biopic playing one of Tupac’s close friends, Ray Luv where he used his born skills to play this role and play it very well. This wasn’t Mr. Young’s first time on the big screen. He also acted as an extra on Louis C.K.’s Pootie Tang film but as a New Years resolution he decided to try out acting again.

He answered, “It’s very important to have a team behind you because you can’t do everything by yourself.” This shows how Mr. Young isn’t just physical determined but mentally as well. He is working on his mind and the way he thinks of things with a little help from the book “The Mental Codes” written by Dr. Michael J. Duckett. This reading has kept him away from negative vibes and prepared his mind for positive
