“They are free to do whatever they want; they have no restraints on what they can do,” Stovall Jr. said.

Stovall Jr. and Davis advised the youth that their dreams should not be compromised by the opportunities and advances that they have today.

For them, aspirations in life must not be boxed out by the privileges of modern technology, rather, the generation of the millennial should utilize these chances for their own benefits.

They both strongly encourage the current generation to reach for their dreams no matter how unattainable it is and to shrug off the criticisms that they would encounter along the way.

“I like to encourage the younger people to reach for the sky, the sky is the limit,” Stovall Jr. said.

“If singing is what you want to do, you follow your dream, you follow your heart, and you do it,” he added.

“Continue to stay focus on what you love to do in this generation, because everything is freely open to them and available. Then they do not have to minimize who they are or the dreams that they have,” Davis said.
