Have you ever thought about using Hip-hop music and culture within the classroom? Imagine your favorite rapper or MC teaching your history, science , English or even math. In this latest episode of the Black on Black Education, we had a a really great conversation with Jamila Sams, CEO of We Do It for the Culture. Jamila Sams walks us through what hip-hop education and pedagogy looks like and how they could be used to achieve both social-emotional learning and a curriculum that reflects the lived experiences of black students. She exposes us to the heart of her work with We Do it for the Culture and the brilliant idea of  combining the five elements of Hip-hop with the five social emotional learning competencies to create a truly revolutionary learning experience. From there, we discuss why is hip-hop infused education essential, what impacts it leaves on students, the difference between hip-hop and commercialized rap and what would this hip-hop education look like in an educational system dominated by predominately white teachers and more.
