Brian Waites AKA Heroux 

Houston-based rapper, songwriter, and record producer Heroux is a rising star in the world of conscious hip-hop and pop. With his unique artistry and innovative lyrics, Heroux’s musical style has been described as a fusion of traditional rap, hip hop, contemporary R&B, Lo-Fi, and dark ambience. Using his voice to spread the wisdom of the creator, Heroux’s eternal goal is to lead and enlighten the “children of the sun” with his music, imparting divine knowledge of life, truth, and the powers of manifestation.

Aside from his music career, Heroux is also the Education Manager for the Music Lab at Jefferson Center. With the goal of helping kids become better people through musical experiences, Heroux and his team are dedicated to providing educational opportunities that promote creativity, self-expression, and personal growth.

In early June of 2021, Heroux (Brian P. Waites) launched his label Cult 9 Records with the intent to expand on a community of artists whose primary focus, among other things, is to produce positive change for the world around them. Totally immersed in his spiritual wisdom, Heroux adopted his name after the Egyptian God “Horus (or) Heru”, whose name means “he who is above” and “he who is distant”. Being the primordial source of power to our galaxy and the “giver of life” to all of God’s creations, Heroux believes that the primary purpose of religious worship was centered around two divine lights: the one without (the sun) and the one within (the soul).

What is this day?

National Roanoke Community Beautification Day is a day for Southwest Virginia residents, families and visitors to come together to beautify homes, parks, and neighborhoods for a better Roanoke. This day speaks to the love Southwest Virginians share for one another that should resonate around the world.

“Official National Roanoake Annual Holiday” Let’s Celebrate!

WHO CREATED THIS DAY?

This day was founded by VASH Developers LLC. in 2020.

HOW IS THIS DAY CELEBRATED?

This day should be observed by residents and visitors participating in either community-based or family-planned beautification projects.
This Year 2022 National Roanoke Community Day July 27 falls on a Thursday and will be celebrated on Saturday, July 29, 2023.

Planning is underway so stay tuned to how you can be involved.

Community beautification is a way to involve the entire community.

Both planning and volunteer projects can put to work the abilities and knowledge of ALL neighborhood and community members; youth, elders, people with disabilities, minorities, and others who have great ideas. Bringing these people into the mainstream of community activity means a stronger and more equitable community neighborhood; more potential volunteers; and a broader and more accurate perspective on community resources, needs, and possible future projects.

Community beautification can build stronger community relationships.

The experience of working with others on a project that everyone is invested in creates bonds. These connections weave a web of social capital, which enrich lives and strengthen the community.

Social Capital

is somewhat like economic capital. It’s the social “currency” that’s available for people to spend as a result of their relationships. All social capital comes from constructing networks through meeting and getting to know others.
