over 3,500 businesses. Farrell's "ONE BARBER," "ONE STYLIST," "UN BARBERO" (spanish version) and
"One Mechanic" poetry posters honor and inspire those in their respective professions. At Virginia Union University, Farrell
and former college roommate Will Holmes Jr.
founded E&W Collaborations in 1999... an online Christian ministry of poetry. And as an author of Emaculate Publishing, he released two books

For Kids" DVD).
