In this week's episode I chat with community organizer, media producer, curator, and social entrepreneur Martha Diaz. Martha and I chat about her childhood as a latch key immigrant kid in Patterson, New Jersey, the moment she fell in love with hip-hop, and her life-long love of the culture. We dive deep into how hip-hop was instrumental in helping her form her identity as a woman, an artist, an educator and a human being and the many ways she has worked to preserve and celebrate the culture as well as her efforts to champion it as a critical tool in the education of our young people. Martha is a dynamic, passionate, compassionate, and engaged fan of hip hop who uses it to make the world a better place.
