12:50pm – 1:20pm – One on One: A Conversation with Conscious, “Clear, Lucid Natural, Simple”
Conscious Walker – writer, on-air personality, artist, painter, and producer – is a quintessential multi-disciplinary creative artist. His first published ebook, Clear, Lucid, Natural, Simple, is a glimpse into his innovative view of the world. Refusing the waste a single gift, Conscious transforms “consciousness” and still manages to look really cool while doing it. In this chat, Thyshaa Shabazz, Founder of Shabazz Communications and The Creative Collective delves into the making of such a creative contributor.
1:25pm – 2:40pm – Afro Futurism, Sci-Fi and Cultural Myths: A Dialogue Among Visionary Writers
Dja Dja N Med-Jay Renpent, N Eternity Reclaimed; Rasheedah Phillips, Recurrence Plot; Cerece Rennie Murphy, Order of the Seers
As famous Mythologist Joseph once mused, “what can mythology tell us about contemporary life?” In this dialogue, writers of Afro-Futurism will explore the possibilities and cultural gems within our own “afro-mythology” juxtaposed to a sci-fi landscape and its ensuing cultural implications.
2:45pm – 3:15pm – One on One: A Conversation with Anthony Wyhte, Author, Publisher, (Street Lit Review, Augustus Publishing)
3:20pm – 4:30pm – Hip Hop Culture, Social Responsibility and Literacy
Moderator: Coole High, Producer, Musician, Entrepreneur (Bondfire Radio)
Panelists: Manny Faces, Hip Hop Journalist, DJ, Producer, Todd Williams “Rahiem”, Entertainer, Hip Hop historian and Motivational Speaker (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five); L.A. Sunshine, A True Story, The Real Accounts (The Treacherous Three) AtLas’, Hip Hop Performer/Entertainer
With the latest controversy surrounding Chuck D’s battle with Hot 97 FM and Manny Faces’ petition to take Hot 97 off the air, it seems apropos to discuss Hip Hop culture’s role in social responsibility. It is clear that the literacy acumen of our communities, especially our youth, can be greatly impacted by various aspects of Hip Hop culture. This enlightening discussion will shed light on how Hip Hop culture’s pioneers and supporters are committed to “showing up” in our communities and beyond.
