2. Mission Statement:
The Hip-Hop Loves Foundation (HHLF) co-produces
workshops, seminars and events that create a space for
dialogue and exploration centered on the themes of
success, youth empowerment and social justice through
Hip-Hop within a global context.
We look at Hip-Hop as the cultural intersection of many
vibrant forms of expression, including dance, sports, visual
arts, and technology. We are unlimited in terms of how we
can impact underserved communities globally in our
outreach. We work with grassroots organizations,
universities, state and federal governments as well as
companies that recognize the value in empowering youth.

3. Goal:
HHLoves seeks to strengthen U.S. relations with foreign
countries like Brazil, by linking artists and NGOs that
facilitate programs that positively impact the underserved
communities. These artists have agreed to invest time and
energy in helping to build a cultural bridge that will be
ongoing and sustainable.
We believe that the most important aspect of our
organization is creating impact both abroad as well as in
the United States by using Hip-Hop culture, sports and
current technology.
We are creating a network of U.S. student organizations
and University administrations to facilitate ongoing
workshops and events, to continue the dialogue centered
on how the Hip-Hop medium can contribute to empower
underserved communities internationally in a sustainable
way.
