In this episode of Black Power Moves, part of the Ebony Covering Black America Podcast Network, we're speaking to Khafre Jay, Executive Director of Hip Hop for Change. https://www.hiphopforchange.org/Among the many roles he fills, Khafre Jay is a change-maker, community organizer, nonprofit worker, and a hip hop artist. As a Bay Area activist fighting for racial and socioeconomic justice, he empowers community members to use their voices and resist structures of inequality—and he does so in large part through hip hop. 

His passions for music, grassroots solutions, and community justice drove him to create the nonprofit Hip Hop for Change, which utilizes hip hop to foster culture, education, and action toward social justice in the Bay Area.

Hip Hop for Change has taught over 25,000 youth nationwide and internationally the history of Hip Hop evolution, music, and culture. Their program gives K-12 and university level students the tools they need to facilitate positive self-expression and better understand Hip Hop Culture, which is rooted in Peace, Love, Unity, and Having Fun.
