“The inspiration behind it is from my mom and dad. They used to sit out on the front porch and they would solve all the world’s problems. My mom would drink her tea, my dad would drink his coffee... I would listen to them, they would discuss anything from jobs, to community, crime or just helping their neighbor,” said Makori.
