Sunday Night Film Series

The Hip Hop Project

September 23rd,

5pm Dinner/6:30pm Screening


“The Hip Hop Project” is the compelling story of Kazi, a formerly homeless teenager who inspired a group of new York City teens to transform their life stories into powerful works of art, using hip hop as a vehicle for self development and personal discovery. After 4 years of collaboration, the group produces a powerful and thought-provoking CD filled with many personal narratives and sharp social commentary. In contrast to all the negative attention focused on Hip Hop and rap this is a story of hope, healing and realization of dreams.

Kazi will be joining us for this event and discuss how this transformative project can be replicated around the country, supporting young people in developing their writing and musical abilities to express their life stories, challenges, and dreams for the future. This event is presented in partnership with Soul Genesis, an online community based on positive, high quality music, and raising awareness of healthy, responsible living.

SoulGenesis, the next generation of social responsibility, are an online community based around positive, high quality music and raising awareness of healthy and responsible living.
