Ricky Day with Martha Diaz on all things hip hop including it's potential as an education tool and it's role in the formation of identity and community in young people

Nothing To Lose But Yourself

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.
