Fifteen students at Evans River K-12 School recently completed a series of hip hop workshops which explored Indigenous culture, language and the importance of local Indigenous sites.
I was blessed to start working with One Vision Productions around a year ago, as a volunteer student support officer. My journey began with Mark and the students from Ballina high school became one lyrical and powerful team to create a beautiful & political track, well beyond these young talented kids years.
One Vision Productions Director Mark Robertson explaining his ideas to Prince Harry during the prince's visit to Australia.
I began these projects 6 years ago and have traveled to nearly 40 communities in Australia initiating hip/hop and film projects. I recently taught hip-hop in the UK and Ireland, and in being a qualified high school English/Drama teacher have realised the dramatic impact that these programs can have to young people's lives; especially for high needs children.
