Hip Hop Don’t Stop: Lifelong Learning through Movement

Faculty Sponsor: Eli Wolff

As a member of The GR818ERS (www.thegr818ers.com), a coalition of hip hop artists and social activists, Pierre worked with young people in the San Fernando Valley and greater Southern California area, in a dual athletic and artistic education project, Art in Motion. By appealing to the interests of disempowered youth, Pierre and his colleagues hoped to inspire young people to positively connect to their communities.

Pierre is the Executive Director of the GR818ERS, a Los Angeles based hip-hop arts organization he founded.
