River Rockz: Empowering Indigenous Youth Through Art, Hip-Hop & Healing

In this powerful episode of the La Raza BIPOC ACCESS Artist Development Podcast, we sit down with Krystal Riverz, founder of River Rockz, and Immortal K (Kendall Jacobs), a young Indigenous artist and filmmaker. Together, they share how the grassroots organization based in Six Nations of the Grand River is fusing Hip-Hop culture and Indigenous traditions to empower youth, heal communities, and challenge intergenerational trauma through creativity. We explore how River Rockz uses dance, videography, mural painting, spoken word, and community-based workshops to foster resilience, belonging, and expression. Immortal K shares his personal journey from participant to creative leader, illustrating the impact of these programs firsthand. 🎙️ Presented by SPIN El Poeta x THE DOPE CONTENT 🌐 Learn more: https://onemic-educators.ca  https://linktr.ee/bipocaccess 🧡 Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts   This episode is part of the La Raza BIPOC ACCESS Artist Development Project, highlighting the work of BIPOC creatives building change through storytelling and art.
