Hello friends, neighbors, supporters, and haters. It’s been a minute since we connected, but I wanted to share a few interesting stories that I’ve been collecting along the way. A few quickies first. One, for those who have been following, I’m now five months post-kidney donation. My daughter is doing amazing and I’ve never felt better. Also, I recently launched Manny Faces Media, an independent media production shop specializing in podcasting and audio journalism. Visit us today for consultation, show development, production work, editing needs, etc.
Speaking of podcasts, new episodes of the WORLD’S SMARTEST HIP-HOP PODCAST are coming! Visit and subscribe to Hip-Hop Can Save America! wherever you get your favorite podcasts. OK, on to more stories of hip-hop innovation, inspiration, and insight.
If you’d like a speaker/panelist/consultant to help you or your organization examine ways that hip-hop can improve many areas of society (education, business, social justice, health & wellness, STEM fields, etc.), reach out and let’s talk about talking!
