The vast majority of my students are Bronx, NY born and raised. I say this because, so is Hip Hop culture. My students are hip hop to the core and are best summed up by the phrase "real recognize real". These young people are incredibly eager to learn, they want to do well in school, but will not give you the time of day unless you show them respect. This respect comes from the formation of academic spaces that make students feel comfort and belonging. Showing them they can use who they are to be successful in school and beyond. Luckily the high school in which I work is dedicated to engaging young people through their culture, and helping them develop emotionally and academically. I have been given the green light by my administration to do this Hip Hop Therapy work. My school is centered in a fairly underdeveloped area of the Bronx and is a prime location to begin integrating culturally relevant counseling curriculum.
