Send us a textEPISODE 8 OF SEASON 2 If like me, lo-fi beats have given you the peace of mind you need while working during this pandemic, then you already know something about mindful hip-hop. And that is the topic of my conversation with Brooklyn-based hip-hop artist, Toni Blackman., who is an advocate of mindful hip-hop. Our conversation is a journey that takes us to the start of her career in the 90s as a recording artist, through the years while using her platform for education and healing. Toni has also been wearing many hats throughout the years; from consulting/facilitating workshops for corporates, co-creating work with  A-list celebrities and using hip-hop cyphers as a tool for healing and education in her immediate community of Brooklyn, and other parts of the world.She was one of the first  US global hip-hop ambassador selected by the State Department, and continues this work through her artist residencies throughout the world. So far, she has taken her various hip-hop projects to 47 countries and worked with a countless number of artists in Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.Toni's work and commitment to hip-hop has now led her to mindfulness and meditation, where she creates safe spaces for healing on various platforms including a  YouTube Channel, a podcast and a theatrical performance called 'Let The Cypher Say Amen'.This is an awesome conversation about dedication, commitment and above all, well-being.
