More Hip Hop Opportunities for Students & Young People

📝 FROM THE E-DESK OF MANNY FACES

Hey friends, neighbors, supporters and haters! I got great feedback about the last edition, so for once, I didn’t want to keep y’all waiting for another 3458937539 days for a new one.

I have a couple more great opportunities for students and young people. These are ways for them to use their connection to Hip Hop music and culture in ways outside of just entertainment — something that society blocks all too often.

In fact, the last two episodes of the Hip-Hop Can Save America! podcast are great examples of just how profitable that intersection can be when applied to entrepreneurialism.

If you know of any Hip Hop-related events like these, and others I’ve shared in past editions, just hit reply and send them my way so I can share them here.

And as always, if you’re looking for a dynamic keynote or featured speaker who can talk about how lessons from 50 years of Hip Hop music and culture can help uplift humanity for the next 50+ years, reply or visit www.hiphopspeaker.com for more info!

— Manny
