THE RETHINK REVEAL
Rethink your labeling of something and open yourself to surprising new life.
Many people use Hip-Hop as a label that is synonymous with violence, degradation of women and homophobia. A lot of it is exactly that. I recently spent time with two Hip-Hop creatives who amazed me with a different truth and history about their art form.
I could have clung on to the Hip-Hop label I thought I knew but chose to be open to what their creative passion revealed.
I discovered that this music genre also has a history of transcending gang warfare and pointing to a different, peaceful and positive path! The artists I was with are consumed with teaching young people to create transformative Hip-Hop.
Peeling away an unexamined label revealed a Hip-Hop that is celebratory, positive and hopeful. What labeling of something or someone will you rethink?
Call-to-Action:
-
Be aware of the labels you use and the assumptions that go with them
-
Be open to rethinking them
Notice how rethinking a label reveals unexpected new life and possibilities.
