What do animal rights and veganism have to do with hip hop? So much more than you might think! Keith Tucker of Hip Hop is Green joins us this week to discuss the organization’s extraordinary work spreading the word in the hip hop community.

Keith Tucker founded the nonprofit Hip Hop is Green, the first hip hop organization to provide BIPOC families plant-based meals nationwide. A unique visionary and social entrepreneur for over 30 years, he has worked with hundreds of businesses, youth groups, community organizations, and icons in the entertainment industry as an ambassador for the culture of hip hop. In 2017, Keith was nominated for Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthier America “Catalyst for Change” award. He now focuses his nonprofit on fighting climate change and promoting holistic wellness in low-income communities across America with the global power of hip hop culture.
