Wyclef Jean holds many titles; Producer, singer, poet, musician, politician, composer, but his most important title is that of Luminary. Through art and music he aims to inspire others.

Wyclef discusses his childhood in Haiti growing up with his grandmother in a spiritual household. Then the culture shock and adjustment of emigrating to the states at 9 years old and trying to fit in and find his place. Plus the role that hiphop played in his youth and how it literally saved his life, turning his anger and resentment at the struggles he faced into power and inspiration.
