What an incredible and inspiring weekend for Hip Hop culture. I was honored to keynote and then just be immersed in the inaugural “To The Best Y’all” symposium. My crappy recap reel doesn't begin to do it justice. Rest assured, the CULTURE is alive and well & fully capable of helping save America!

"Using Hip Hop in educational spaces is about students being able to express their experiences authentically.

...This is a culture and a form of expression...

This is a way that young people can show us how to fix our schools."
