There’s no better evidence that your friends and community value you than having them help replace the tools of your trade, in this case sound equipment — the life blood of Ahmad Shakir’s career as a DJ and sound designer. Last year Shakir, perhaps known better as DJ It’sJustAhmad, was distressed when much of his collection of professional sound equipment was essentially ruined when an outdoor event came to an abrupt close due to a nasty summer storm. Fortunately, Shakir wasn’t injured, just heartbroken. Even more fortunately, his friends came to the rescue.
