Philly rapper who quit his accounting job to start daycare for low-income families
Rapper Anthony “Dappa” Samuels of West Philadelphia co-founded the Young With Options Academic Center, which mostly assists low-income families in the neighborhood. He hopes to open more daycares in the future, though the center has operated for many years.
The 30-year-old artist helped launch the company in 2017 after quitting his job as an accountant. During an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, he said, “I love being able to be there and be hands-on. I take a lot of pride in that, and it actually helps me with music and in life.”
