It’s Not Where You’re From, It’s Where You’re At…In Consciousness

Students from all over the world come together at institutions for higher learning to educate and empower themselves to be prepared for the “real world”. With them, they bring a myriad of cultural practices, social habits, and belief systems that also make the college experience an intense lesson in self reflection and self realization. Being exposed to various lifestyle influences, young adults are often faced with the challenge of discerning what new lifestyle differences to embrace, and at the same time contemplating which of their programs are no longer worthy of holding on to.

 

In this life changing message on living in the now, Essential demonstrates the power and potential of each moment and the importance of shedding old patterns, perceptions and belief systems. This presentation helps attendees to overcome the concept of victim-hood and allows them the opportunity to be empowered by the events in their lives that have developed them into the adults they are today, despite whatever trials and tribulations they may have experienced. Essential explains the strength in taking control of one’s one life by elevating one’s personal level of consciousness.

 

OBJECTIVES:

• To create a sense of self worth in future leaders despite whatever cultural or socioeconomic background they come from
• To empower young adults to seize the opportunity that each moment holds, for their own inner power and potential to unfold
• To uncover the fact that what is often referred to as a “set back” can just as easily and more powerfully be perceived as a “set up” to achieve greatness in one’s own life.

 

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:

• That they would not be the individuals they are today had it not been for the events in their lives that have prepared them for the now
• Tools for overcoming adversity and the strength in taking responsibility for one’s own thoughts and actions
•  How each moment bears the seed of opportunity to create a new paradigm for self- discovery.

Hip-Hop Culture…Have We Forgotten Who We Are?

The fact that hip-hop music has changed the face of American and world wide culture has for many years been common knowledge. However, in the beginning stages of hip-hop culture, the messages and themes in the music were far different than what is dominating the marketplace today. What was it that shifted this powerfully influential art form from one of empowerment through story telling, to one of blatant self-degradation and misogyny?

 

In this powerful and controversial lecture on the current state of hip-hop, Essential MC will deeply explore the overt and hidden messages in popular hip-hop music of the day. Where does the responsibility lie? Is it in the hands of record company conglomerates, music video outlets and radio stations, the artists, and/or the actual fans? This presentation will enlighten future leaders to make more conscientious decisions as to the sound vibrations that they allow themselves to be so heavily inundated with.

 

 

OBJECTIVES:

• To empower the next generation of leaders to take a stand for what they allow to enter their psyche through audio and video suggestions
• To illustrate how we, as members of the hip-hop community, have allowed for self degradation and misogyny to be acceptable components in our every day lives
• To encourage young decision makers to take responsibility for the lives that they create for themselves, by understanding the power of the subconscious mind.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:

• The short and long term effects of being inundated with negative music and video imagery
• What they can personally and collectively do to make a difference in the state of hip hop and world culture
• The importance of creating art that not only is free and self expressive, but also empowering and uplifting.
