My efforts as a Black Cultural and Hip-Hop Archivist go far beyond simply collecting artifacts and managing information. It’s about preserving and sharing the stories, voices, and moments that have shaped Black culture, particularly within hip-hop. I document everything from vinyl records and rare photos to fashion, graffiti, and oral histories, ensuring that the legacies of hip-hop pioneers, Black artists, and cultural movements are recognized and respected.
However, I don’t just archive the past; I actively engage with it in a creative way, blending history with art and expression. I see myself as a storyteller and a keeper of cultural memory, committed to making sure the influence of Black culture and hip-hop continues to resonate and inspire future generations. My mission is to ensure that these stories are not forgotten but celebrated and passed on in ways that connect with people and keep these powerful legacies alive.InsertRetry
