Backpack Matt speaks! Geronimo and Matt sit down with Darryl Perkins, Director of Social Impact for Broccoli City. The social enterprise kicked off its Broccoli City Week this past Saturday with a 5k Run, with a few more events taking place in the coming days leading up to the music festival on Saturday.

We spoke to Darryl about his pre-Broccoli City years growing up in Oakland and attending Howard University, inspiration for the music festival, making healthy living cool, creating the Chip-In app, being the first to bring Cam'Ron back to DC, Bay Area rappers and more.
