God bless writer-producer Vy Higgensen for preserving gospel music as an American art form while using the genre to help young people connect with, and become enriched by, their cultural heritage. 
The Gospel for Teens Program is a program of The Mama Foundation for the Arts and Vy’s Higginsen’s School of Gospel, Jazz and R&B Arts.
The story of the program will be aired Sunday, April 3, on CBS’ television show 60 Minutes.

    We saw the 60 Min. program “Gospel For Teens” Educates, Enriches, Inspires. Powerful!
    God’s Continued Blessing. Keep turning on the light of music in the hearts of young people looking for life on earth apart from their community. Keep planting the seeds of music in our young people.
