Services
Ready to move beyond talk? I offer speaking, workshops, coaching, and event support that center culture, truth, and action. If you’re serious about change, let’s work.
Speaking Engagements
Delivering powerful, unapologetic talks that bring Hip Hop, race, and justice to the forefront of your school, company, or event. I’ve spoken at TEDx Sausalito, Stanford, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, Tulane, and the Cambridge School of Social Justice, as well as for numerous nonprofits and businesses worldwide.
Audiences leave informed, energized, and ready to take meaningful action toward equity and change.
Anti-Racism Coaching
Facing racism at work, in your family, or in your community? I offer one-on-one and small group coaching to help you find your voice, build confidence, and navigate tough conversations about race.
This coaching is for anyone ready to take real steps toward anti-racism, whether you’re directly impacted or learning how to show up for justice.

I also offer workshops for college students on Hip Hop history and culture, and help businesses and nonprofits authentically integrate Hip Hop into their strategies to deepen community connection.
