Stan Staton is a senior at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Originally from the Houston area, Stan is now a member of the Texas Youth Leadership Council – a project of Advocates for Youth and the Texas Freedom Network.
Last semester, I held an event for TFN advocating for sex education through Hip Hop. The turnout was amazing! Below is the video of the event!
The event mainly consisted of local talent performing their own work or covers of others' work. There was spoken word poetry, rapping, and singing. In the middle of it all there was a rap cypher and even a battle. Interspersed in the entertainment, we had guest speakers from Americorp and Planned Parenthood talking about what services were available at the university and at PP.
A couple things to note:
-The university did not sanction the event and had nothing to do with the planning or eecution of it. That is for the best because they would have toned down the quality of the event (their official stance is to never talk about sexuality, ever!)
-We were not allowed to pass out condoms at the venue, which was unfortunate.
-There was an awesome DJ duo (myself and my DJ partner Peril)
