Leaders of the New School
Hip-hop has come a long way from its New York City to become a cultural powerhouse that influences politics, fashion, sports, popular culture, language, and more. Its global appeal is what prompted three friends to foster a cross-cultural community targeting disadvantaged youth worldwide. The Hip Hop Loves Foundation (www.hiphoploves.com) offers programming centered on themes such as career success, social justice, and empowerment through workshops on break dancing, DJing, emceeing, and even boxing.
