HEAL THE HOOD foundation.

HEALING THE HOOD foundation

About us;

HEALING THE HOOD was started by me after growing up in a TROUBLE community in the bronx and experiencing the social ills from drugs,gang violence and poverty seeing a atmopshere plague by negativity brought pain to my heart and frustration everyday which inspired a vision at the same time to help be apart of the solution and follow in the steps of those who came before me who took on the battles that rage in our neighborhoods and doing what needed to be done to help change things.I use the culture of hip hop as a motivating force to play a role in the help we need by gathering our hip-hop vangaurds/god/goddesses and icons to help use their power to empower those who support them by being visible active and spread a message that we need to take back
.our minds
.nuture our body
.heal our families
.revive our communities
.respect our traditions
.stop the VIOLENCE

WHY EMPLOY THE HELP OF THE CONSIOUS AND STREET AMBASSADORS TO GET INVOLVED

we need our rappers and entertainers to be the ambassadors to our hood/villages and help channel the resources that we need that will help us combat what has claim the lives of our youth& kill our hope to live and dream ,we need to come together and take responsibility and re-build our devastated villages from within and encourage our people to unite on all levels and use our talents to heal instead of hurt us,i hope to get the attention of the hip hop pioneers who are working towards change as we speak and reach more people to form the type of alliance we need to answer the call of our people electing a black president s not the end of all, we have work to do with ourselves but i know we need the medicine cause our sickness come in many forms thats why healing the hood is important if we are to survive before we can take back the hood and make it a thriving community and end the war s!!! alot we know has to do with the politics of this goverment and policies that conflict with our best interest while change has taken form since the civil rights era we see it has taken another form but as a aspiring artist,writer,publisher,holistic healer, i feel its my calling to bring the efforts of all our leaders combine to the next level with the help of those concern
