Culture Wars (and the Truth Behind Hip Hop, Social Media, and the Dance Industry) ft. Jackie “Miss Funk” Lopez 

How does culture inform your identity? Hear from educator and arts administrator Jackie Lopez on celebrating, co-creating, and shifting culture, the dramatic impact of hip-hop in politics, social activism, and fashion, and its misrepresentation in media, the hidden truth about the Dance Industry and educating artists in business, and her story of going from single Latina mom struggling in Hollywood to First Latina professor teaching in her department at UCLA. We also explore how social media is changing dance and art, her practical and deliberate approach to inspiring youth, and the importance of arts administration.
