360° provides a hip hop centered analysis of our society’s racialized history. It also o ers strategies
to navigate the e ects of that history and a blueprint to actualize Black Liberation. 360° is the map,
and the end notes provide the detailed directions to follow to move towards community self-
determination and sustainability.

In 360°, you learn how to:
* Maximize the power of social networks and social support systems.
* Build cooperative structures for community sustainability.
*Develop a cultural strategy that centers Blackness.

Drawing heavily for inspiration from my favorite social theorists, namely James Baldwin, Malcolm X,
Lauryn Hill and Chuck D., 360° contributes to the body of literature that addresses issues of race and
social justice both in print and online. Part One provides a brief contextual analysis of to-day’s racial
order. Part Two provides the blueprint to navigate and ultimately, transform it.

The 360° Project is a community empowerment and organizing model that utilizes social network
theory and analysis to promote strategies that advance community self-sustainability. Network Theory
o ers important insight into how interpersonal connections matter, and how knowledge in any and all
groups grows, and it explains the e ects of the gaps in both connection and communication. It also
provides a concrete methodology for identifying best practices and a blueprint to maximize sustainability
through intentional and empowering community connections. The 360° Project advances cultural
strategies in the Black Liberation Movement with a focus on education, activism, media literacy, and
narrative building.

Hip Hop has been the griot of its generation’s beautiful struggle and I draw on the lessons I learned from
its context. 360° draws its chapter titles from hip hop artists that have helped and shape this analysis,
particularly Public Enemy (PE) and Lauryn Hill. It is the culmination of 20 years of centralizing hip hop
in social justice work. I believe hip hop best re ects the beauty and struggle of our 21st century’s
journey to freedom. For me, hip hop has and always is about the people it represents and our social
and political freedom.
