“The Universe is Infinite, LITERACY is the Rocketship” A dark nebula in the constellation Orion, located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. “Always be excited to LEARN and cherish every breath” A supernova is an astronomical event that occurs during the last stellar evolutionary stages of a massive star's life, whose dramatic and catastrophic destruction is marked by one final titanic explosion. This causes the sudden appearance of a "new" bright star, before slowly fading from sight over several weeks or months. “What is your PURPOSE? Most nebulae are of vast size, even millions of light years in diameter. Contrary to fictional depictions where starships hide in nebulae as thick as cloud banks, in reality a nebula that is barely visible to the human eye from Earth would appear larger, but no brighter, from close by. “Why are you even BREATHING?” The Helix Nebula, also known as The Helix, NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, probably before 1824, this object is one of the closest to the Earth of all the bright planetary nebulae. “Everyone has a STORY, it’s your receipt for the gift of LIFE” In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier 45 or M45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.

Hip-Hop is a Global Language utilized by youth 

The form of expression or communication, referred to as Hip-Hop, can be utilized to inspire students of all backgrounds to develop an interest or passion for literacy.

ARE U WASTING TIME? Dead Babies: Volume I is a Hip-Hop influenced, youth empowerment instructional learning book and classroom workshop series centered on literacy. The book integrates academia and the arts, through the lens of hip-hop, to create highly engaging and interactive lesson plans and workshops for students.  

The name, ARE U WASTING TIME? Dead Babies: Volume I, was derived from the notion that a segment of today’s youth are seemingly driven or “set-up” to be spiritually, emotionally, socially, and economically disconnected from the values that have and continue to drive modern society.  

This is a highly provocative, live performance-based educational model that can be delivered in classroom setting, in-person or online.  The model allows the ARE U WASTING TIME? Youth Empowerment & Non-Profit Corporation to engage students from anywhere in the world. It opens the door for greater impact and provides flexibility in how youth are served, despite the challenges of a pandemic.   

As workshop participants equipped with our Hip-Hop influenced book, students learn to express themselves through reading, creative writing, and public speaking. 

Progressive academics refer to this style of educational engagement as an abolitionist-styled approach to reimagine learning and reach students that have historically been marginalized.

Abolitionist Teaching is built on the creativity, imagination, boldness, ingenuity, and rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists to demand and fight for an educational system where all students are thriving, not simply surviving.
