"Powerful and Transformative"

I have no background in hip hop. I was thoroughly engaged in the presentations and was inspired by the music. I deeply appreciated the recognition that we met on Native land and the tribal performances were stunning. My biggest take away as a teacher was to recognize WHO is in the room, continue introspection of who I am and where I come from, learn as much as I teach and focus on relationships, gifts students have, my role and power in fighting against oppression in my community.

To not give up despite the broken systems to maintain the status quo. Feeling the power of the audience reassured me that I am not alone... There is still hope

That we are not alone! It was invaluable to be in a room with that many other people, willing to share and participate in this type of discussion!

It was the first presentation in my career of 15 years that was NOT veiled in niceties, correctness. It was raw and professional, direct and relate-able, His objective is to reach student's heart first, then their minds...and this is what he did with me.
