Music and Mentoring are two of the passions highlighted by our Conversation with Imani Yasin today. She discussed and played her music videos and the significance of showing images that are often missing in the hi-hop community. Imani shared her personal story and inspired the students with her courage, drive and independent thinking. Masadey Blalock said this in reaction to Imani’s visit, “I really like Imani. She is very inspiring. She talked about thing some people older than her would be afraid of. She is very confident.” In addition to being a hip-hop artist and songwriter, Imani is also the Director for High School Programs at Sister Circle, a mentoring organization for young women that works with TCS. Imani is also the sponsor and aunt of one of our students Neenah Payne.
