HIP HOP GROWS UP, Inc. is a non-profit dedicated to closing the gaps in education, between parents/guardians, youth, and educators.
It is also formed to help youth better prioritize images and words they receive from entertainment, and to greatly enhance the self-esteem within youth. The HIP HOP GROWS UP alliance with Bruce George, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam, to head the HHGU Literary Wing was happily announced last week. Additionally, HIP HOP GROWS UP, Inc. is very pleased to reveal the union with two exceptional women of God to work with the Spiritual Wing of HIP HOP GROWS UP, Inc. Dr. Yvonne Cole is a remarkable woman of God, as an Evangelist, Gospel Singer, and Speaker.
As a prophet of the Lord, Dr. Cole ministers to youth across the country. Her humble and sincere approach to youth is inspiring to see. Dr. Yvonne Cole is mother of Shun alias NUTTSO, who was hand-chosen by the late, great Tupac Shakur (2Pac) , of his group “The Outlaws.” And she is also the adopted mother of Superstar R&B Sensation, Keyshia Cole. “I am so glad to partner with HIP HOP GROWS UP, Inc.
