Event Details
Momma's Hip Hop Kitchen is celebrating its twelfth year of existence! There is so much excitement that comes from being able to provide a safe space for our community to be itself, raw, candid, and liberated. As we have tapped into and addressed dozens of issues over the years we have seen an incredible amount of growth from the inside out. Our organization has had an opportunity to expand and provide smaller showcases across NYC and beyond. This experience has given us a chance to connect with other artists who have never heard of us and share that platform of truth and freedom with them. As we grow, so does the message of Peace, Love, Unity, and Having Fun.
Our theme this year, " Do What You Love. Love What You Do." is inspired by YOU. As a community, our collective consciousness has elevated exponentially. We have all leveled up and it feels great. We have been able to use the art of Hip-Hop as medicine and as a way to call back our individual and collective power. Together we have used poetry, song, dance, and art as our shield and as our weapon against oppression and the debilitating disease of self-sabotage. Our dedication to seeking justice for ourselves and our community is done with vast amounts of courage, boldness, and passion. We are unapologetic now, it is second nature and we know how to manage it. We are encouraged by the fact that true love ALWAYS wins and we love ourselves enough to be fully immersed in making a difference.
"Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, harness your power to your passion. Honor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart, and success will come to you." — Oprah Winfrey
