Canadian rapper Duane (D.O.) Gibson, an Ontario based motivational speaker and certified artist will be celebrating Black History Month by embarking on the Stay Driven, Black Canadian 36-date school tour. Each show is a one-hour assembly that combines speaking with live performances to engage the audience while delivering a solid message.  
 
Stay Driven, the Black Canadian presentation specializes in Black Canadian History.  D.O. talks about Viola Desmond who stood up for her rights by sitting down at a segregated movie theatre in Nova Scotia. Desmonds’ likeness is now featured on the Canadian ten-dollar bill. He talks about freedom fighter Josiah Henson, a slave that travelled the Underground Railroad for freedom in Canada, became a land owner, and helped other free and empower other blacks.  The presentation is interactive, and he gets the students rapping along to a negro spiritual.  Finally, he calls upon volunteers to play a game of “name that tune” to highlight black music contributors.
 
Doubling as a successful record label executive and a socially active community ambassador, D.O. Gibson sees no limitations when chasing his goals and is bound only by the hours in a day.

D.O. Gibson will be doing a show in connection with the School Tour at the Rivoli the afternoon of February 16th, 2019.  Click here for more information and to purchase tickets.
