Catalyzing Social Change & Equity
Founded in 2010, while studying at NYU, the Hip-Hop Education Center is an innovation hub and incubator that centralizes and connects the work of Hip-Hop artists, teachers, students, scholars, archivists, curators, activists, and social entrepreneurs from across the globe to empower the community and preserve, create, and honor Hip-Hop’s legacy.
Empowering Women & Girls
Fresh, Bold & So Def (FBSD) is an intergenerational, international Hip-Hop feminist movement that honors, empowers, and preserves the contributions and achievements of women and girls in Hip-Hop. FBSD is a one of its kind collective with the goal to not only document women’s achievements and contributions to Hip Hop, but also to build a comprehensive archive.
Creating a Platform for Filmmakers and Storytellers
Founded the first Hip-Hop Film Festival of its kind in 2002. Through this platform, I have united filmmakers, industry professionals, artists, and activists to diversify and amplify storytelling in Hip-Hop cinema, and counter the stereotypical narratives imposed by popular culture..
