His hands-on work in communities, classrooms and board rooms around the country, touch on all that he’s learned in his career—specifically how the elements of hip-hop can be localized in the classroom and globally.Follow John Robinson on Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter): @JohnRobinsonMusicPurchase the book, Youth Culture Power: A #HipHopED Guide to Building Teacher-Student Relationships and Increasing Student Engagement (Hip-Hop Education)https://jayare.bandcamp.com/merch/youth-culture-power-autographed-bookPurchase Malik’s First Job: Financial Principles for Teens:www.maliksfirstjob.comStart your own podcast with Buzzsprout https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1847701Follow Malik’s First Job on Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) @MaliksFirstJob
