For the Community (FTC) was held last weekend on Magandjin's (Brisbane) northside as an Indigenous-led community event aimed at keeping young people out of trouble.

The event was organised by Magandjin-based Waany and Manandanji hip hop artist Saytruegod? (STG) and his fiancée, Ewamain, Cobble-Cobble, Birri and South-Sea Islander Woman, Allirah Fisher.

STG said FTC began as a small training session during COVID to help Saytruegod's younger brother let off steam.

He noted more young people started turning up, and the idea grew into a larger community day.

STG outlined how the early sessions started and why he kept inviting more kids along.

"COVID is when we started it and it wasn't called anything it was just my little brother there," STG said.

"So it was just letting my brother and his mates to let off the steam off and all that stuff.

"Then it just gradually grew from there."

FTC was built around local people turning up to give back, with a focus on exercise, role modelling and good behaviours upheld by their slogan "For The People, By The People."

The day included boxing drills, a barbecue, barbers and hairdressers and braiding for girls with over 100 people in attendance.

Brands donated items for prizes and giveaways, with an estimated total value at more than $10,000.

Food trucks also provided free meals, and a nutrition worker attended to yarn with young people about food and health.

The event also included a meditation session and a smoking ceremony.

Bebelena's Kitchen posted that it felt privileged to be part of the day and thanked Saytruegod, FTC and other businesses for helping bring people together.

The business wrote that serving food and seeing kids' faces light up made the morning, and described the event as an uplifting day for community.

Ms Fisher described the event as a community-led space for young people, and spoke about the support that came in after a call-out.

"Nixon's [STG] presence and relationships that he's built through his [music] career has created a pathway on how he can give back to the community And inspire the youth from where he's from," she said.

"The essence of it is kind of just local community coming together to give back to the youth In the next generation where we go through exercise, role modelling and good behaviours."

The couple saw the event as a safe space for young people and a place where local role models were present and had been asked repeatedly when the event would return, and the response to their recent call for help was strong.

Moving forward, they plan to hold one FTC event each month.

Though the monthly events will be smaller, they will still provide food and a space for young people to exercise, talk, and yarn about mental health.
