When you hear 'Hip Hop Culture' it can be easy to default to it's surface level association with rap, drugs, gangs and political movements. Like most things 'different' this isn't the case at all and once you dive down into it deeper you get a better understanding about what it's actually all about. Rush Wepiha uses this culture among other things to connect with rangatahi in a way that modern schools, applications and activities don't. For over 16 years he has had a passion to help indigenous youth become powerful, confident people - proud to know who they are, where they're from and who they can be.
In this episode we get a walk through of how the brother is making change with kids here in Aotearoa and abroad in Australia.
