Building thriving financial futures through Hip-Hop pedagogy

Our Mission…

To build intergenerational financial resilience with students, families, and educators. We believe financial education is about much more than numbers, it’s a means for self-care and social justice. It all happens through Hip Hop pedagogy, which focuses on understanding self-identity in relation to the whole. Together we are working to address systemic issues of educational equity and the racial wealth divide.

Hip-Hop and Finance in action:

“This curriculum is what finance education needs! My students want to see someone who looks like them, and gets the challenges they are facing, not some other tired lesson. My class lit up when I shared songs from the curriculum, they’re really excited to talk about ways to create change” - Joanna, High School Educator
