Hip-hop is more than music, it’s a culture. For over 40 years, hip-hop has given generations a platform to speak on behalf of marginalized groups and get the party started, but it has also faced years of criticism. In this episode, we are talking with Jarrett Royster, Chief Branch Officer from the YMCA of Greater Boston, about the grit and resilience of hip-hop and how those traits should propel leaders to the next level.
