Cash Cobain and Bay Swag join Sei Less in holiday giveback to NYC scholars amNewYork

"The holidays usually bring families together with joy, but sadly, not everyone enjoys that privilege. We get tied up in our daily lives throughout the year, and we sometimes really forget to slow down and think about the less fortunate people who are going through an internal struggle at home, Dara Mirjahangiry, founder of Sei Less, told amNewYork. Earlier this holiday season, Mirjahangiry began planning to give back to the NYC community by partnering with Children of Promise NYC, a nonprofit organization that supports children"

"During this holiday collaboration, Sei Less, the upscale Asian fusion celebrity hotspot, served a meal to about 40 scholars from Children of Promise, NYC. Sei Less drew on its celebrity connections to surprise the scholars with appearances by NYC's Cash Cobain and Bay Swag. After Sei Less served the meal at the event, Cash Cobain and Bay Swag walked out from behind the curtains, and the room erupted. The scholars stared in shock; many couldn't believe their eyes, and tears began to fall."

"The scholars got to take pictures, get autographs, and even do a Q&A with the rappers! We got to speak to some of the scholars, I'm so excited, I've been with Children of Promise for three years, they show me how to handle things, and it helps my mental health, said Chelsea (12). Children of Promise is like a second family, Tissany (12) told us."

Dara Mirjahangiry partnered Sei Less with Children of Promise NYC to provide holiday support for children and families affected by parental incarceration. Sei Less, an upscale Asian fusion hotspot, served a meal to about 40 scholars and arranged surprise appearances by rappers Cash Cobain and Bay Swag. The celebrities greeted the scholars, posed for photos, signed autographs, and answered questions, prompting emotional reactions. Scholars described the program as supportive for mental health and likened Children of Promise to a second family. Bay Swag connected personally to the cause because his father has been incarcerated, making the outreach heartfelt.
