Today’s drop is a quickie, due to the fact that what I want to share with you is starting today.Each year, the city of Selma, Alabama hosts theBridge Crossing Jubilee, a commemoration of the 1965 civil rights march and subsequent attack on demonstrators infamously known asBloody Sunday.
As part of this remembrance,Dr. Adia Winfreyhelps orchestrate theIntergenerational Hip Hop Political Summit, replete with performances, speakers, and announcing a call-to-action for members of the Hip Hop community in Alabama, and at-large, to ensure we continue to use the culture for more than just entertainment.
Dr. Winfrey, who has been on the show before, is a Doctor of Psychology and the creator of theH.Y.P.E. Hip Hop Therapyinitiative. She previously ran for Congress and is co-creator of the political activism organizationTransform Alabama. Dr. Dia, as she is affectionately known, took a few moments to break down what to expect from this year’s Jubilee, the Hip Hop Summit, and beyond, as we all continue to uplift the political power of the Hip Hop community.
