Send us a text#015 Building Financial Resilience Through Hip Hop Pedagogy Today, I am lucky to have Brian ‘Dyalekt’ Kushner. He moved from St. Croix to New York to study acting and law. He also liked to rap. After witnessing civil rights injustices at the law firm he worked for, he dropped both the job and the law classes, pursuing the arts instead. Performances at the Nuyorican led him to Hip Hop Theater, writing plays that have been performed on stages across the world. He didn’t sleep on the rapping either, releasing music and touring internationally. His first album/one man play Square Peg Syndrome helped him get named to the Public Theater’s Emerging Writer’s Group. He has been a mainstay in NYC’s theater and Hip Hop scenes, rocking everywhere from the Bowery Ballroom to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.For complete show notes and transcript please go to Raising Financial FreedomIn This Episode:[1 :50 ] Dyalekt’s take on financial literacy and how he uses Hip Hop to teach students about finances[ 9:15 ] Teaching students about saving and budgeting through rap[ 13:00 ] What Dyalekt will teach his children about money[ 17:10 ] How Pockets Change will teach sessions in school[ 19:40 ] What people don’t realize about money[ 29:00 ] Dyalekt’s favorite part of teaching children  [ 34:15 ] Find out more about Pockets ChangeLinks Mentioned: Pockets Change: http://www.pocketschange.comFollow Pockets Change on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pocketschange/Follow Pockets Change on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PocketsChangeLike Pockets Change on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pocketschangeFind Your Money Personality: http://www.pocketschange.com/personalityDyalekt: http://dyalekt.comCheck out our website: https://raisingfinancialfreedom.com/Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaisingFinancialFreedomStay Connected: Visit us at NurturingFinance.com for more resources, and join our community on social media to continue the discussion.
