Philanthropy[edit]
Taccara and Yinka have always had a heart for humanity. During the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020, Taccara and Yinka set out to help their community in lower Fairfield County, CT by purchasing groceries and distributing them among the community who could not afford the groceries, or were physically unable to grocery shop due to the risk the pandemic posed to their health. They fittingly named their un-official organization, "Neighbors in Need".
Yinka's organization Saving All Lives Together (S.A.L.T)/ I Believe in Prison Reform has helped to release over 120 wrongfully accused inmates throughout prisons in Nigeria.
Part of Yinka's mission through his prison reform work is to help integrate music therapy into the prison system, which he has successfully achieved in prisons throughout Nigeria, U.K, and the United States by performing uplifting and motivational songs in a concert fashion, for the inmates.
