She founded the global hip-hop project RAPtivism (rap activism) in 2009, and has since travelled to over 15 countries across four continents challenging oppression with expression.

  • Social Justice Storytelling

    This workshop explores tools for community building and organizing through social justice storytelling. First we will discuss the role of the emcee in hip-hop culture as a storyteller. Then we will learn how hip hop storytelling can be used to critically explore questions of identity, inequality and liberation. Participants will reflect on, and share their own social justice stories over beats and breaks. Using creative techniques such as body percussion, we will also practice solidarity building through movement. All levels of musical interest and experience are welcome.
