Bobby Lefebre is an award-winning spoken word artist, actor, and social worker. He is a walking example that we do not have to pick one passion to follow in life - and, in fact, we can live a life that honors all of our passions. Bobby recognized from an early age that he had many interests and that putting his answer to "What do you do?" into one box was not for him. Bobby's BE story is one that shows that it is possible to live the life you want to live, on your own terms. Features: Chapter Be's theme song, Happiness by Dave Preston Be Intro by Common
