In this episode, I’m joined by Manny Faces while at the Georgia Educational Technology Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. He’s the founding director of The Center For Hip Hop Advocacy. I came across his session title while scrolling through the GaETC app and the title of his session “Hip Hop x STEM = Engagement” caught my attention. I was able to find him and ask him to tbe a part of the show to discuss his work and how Hip Hop ties into education. I’m a HUGE Hip Hop head so this conversation is very organic and will probably require a part 2 at some point. Give this episode a listen because you’ll be surprised to hear how many connections there are between Hip Hop and education. Buen provecho!
