Drums Along the Hudson

My good friend Carl Nelson organizes an annual event for dance, music and culture at Inwood Park, titled Drums Along the Hudson. Laura Turner (pictured left) was being honored for her contributions to the environment. I had lunch with Laura during the event, we talked about the Captain Planet Foundation, which she now runs, started by her father, Ted Turner.

Martha Diaz

My second day at Harvard, we are given a tour of their Hip-Hop museum. Martha Diaz poses next to the book she wrote (in the glass case). The book is a classic in literature that defines the Hip-Hop culture. btw, I have spoken at two of Martha's events in the past, one being on a panel for the H2O Film Festival.

Harvard University

I was invited by the United Nations to speak at a private forum at Harvard University. Other attendees included a handful of leaders from other countries and some professors from Harvard. Professor Summers nicknamed me the "Organic Intellectual" (as theorized by Gramsci). I have a second session tomorrow morning and then I am heading back to NYC.

Mario Lazo

During my 2 month trip to South America, in Uruguay, I have been honored by the famous sculpture Mario Lazo, as he created a bust of me. He has done many historical bust, but this is the first that has an accompanying piece, with the hand pointing to my eye, signifying my media company and anthem for inspiration Keep Your "Eye On It".
