Based on a true story she depicts a tale of her father and his insecurities about complexion, it's a definite tear jerker. The song really hits home as she paints a vivid picture of the many problems we face today Light skin vs Dark skin. Farrah teamed up with Visionary Glen Graham (Videographer) and the insanely talented Producer Kurser Fabrice to launch the Shot Gun Wedding Movement. When asked what the movement represents she replied "Shot Gun Wedding" is more than just a song, it's raising awareness and encouraging open discussions at the dinner table.
