MISSION DRIVEN
Our Why
Black Americans carry a disproportionate cancer burden, including the highest mortality rates from most cancers, and slowest time to diagnosis of any other race.
Not only are Black Americans 41% more likely to die from cancer, they top the charts in heart disease, diabetes, and obesity too.
Low health literacy is a big part of the problem.
We're bringing health literacy to the streets
Black Americans need to be empowered with effective health literacy so they can seek the healthcare access and timely intervention they need and deserve.
We aim to educate people in their local communities, with voices they know and trust.
We're eliminating road blocks and barriers to success
Healthcare disparities like lack of insurance, limited access, historical injustices, and implicit racial bias keep many People of Color from seeking essential or even basic medical care.
We're fostering prevention and self-advocacy
We must engage Communities of Color at the grass roots level, and establish collaborative partnerships that will drive health literacy and create lasting change.
THE SOLUTION
Hit the Streets
We’re gearing up to launch a series of block parties in some of America’s largest urban communities and harness the power of hip-hop music and its culture to empower people to seek and receive the healthcare they need and deserve.
Together with community partners, the Health, Hope & Hip-Hop Foundation is creating a model to educate and inspire Black Americans in their neighborhoods with a goal of creating measurable and lasting change.

HOPE!!
Hope was the matador that helped me dodge all the bull that was charging my way. We are nothing without hope: I hope I get that promotion; I hope my children turn out okay; I hope they find a cure. Every day I HOPE I can make a difference in this world by sharing my experiences and shining a light on healthcare disparities.
I HOPE you have a very happy, healthy 2025!
