Hip-Hop Pedagogy Community Education Workshop Series…
Hip Hop Culture is a reverberation of centuries-long resistance to oppression by Black and Brown people in the Americas. Born in the Bronx from meager beginnings; emerging from the ghetto streets plagued by poverty and violence, Hip Hop is now a medium that empowers people across the globe. However, the Hip Hop Industry and, to some degree, the world of Hip Hop Education are no longer held accountable to the people. This Program seeks to reconnect the most influential parts of Hip Hop with the streets it was born from.
– Zulu King K~Swift
The Hip-Hop Pedagogy Community Education Workshop Series is designed to promote the multidisciplinary pedagogy of Hip-Hop Culture. Recognizing Hip-Hop as a major influence on youth culture today, this workshop series will inspire participants through the Five Elements of Hip-Hop Culture. Workshops will expose families to vital resources and services that will enable them to build up themselves and surrounding community.

Dear Mother Goddess by Kurt Kacich
Dear Mother Goddess
Mother Goddess who brought me to this Earth,
Dear, my mother goddess who created me from birth,
Shine your light through me first,
Because without you, the world wouldn’t be everything it’s worth,
Hold me in your arms while I awake to rebirth,
~
Dear Mother Goddess so beautiful and true,
As I awake I see all Five Elements and within them I see you,
From the blazing flames of fire to the water so blue,
The wind blows forever in spirit as I look at you,
My Mother Goddess so beautiful and true,
~
Blessed be everything I see all around me,
Blessed be the beauty of nature that surrounds me,
With my hand in yours without you I wouldn’t see,
This pinnacle of good over evil in this world of glee,
Dear Mother Goddess, I love you, blessed be.

Let go of the pain
Cause I’m Out To Save You
Letting go of the pain
Cause I’m Out To Save You
The Days of Man are coming to an End
So Come With Me
If You want to Live
You come from a time
Where They Look the Same
and
Think the Same too
There’s nowhere left to go
So I’m Out To Save You
That All Want To Be Saved
My Hands Been Bloody Since The Day I Came
It’s such a shame
You’ve seen My violent side
So letting go of the pain
Cause I’d like to Save You
