Profile: https://flows.cv/najee

I'm currently teaching Full-Stack Javascript and Web Development with Hack the Hood. We work with youth from underrepresented backgrounds to give them access to technology and resources that they need. Building and encouraging them to reach out and beyond the limits of their situation.

My personal business is about the community. I use music as a vehicle to reach out and connect as well as educate the community. I've thrown events, helped organize others, started video blogs, run social media campaigns and been able to travel through my music. For me, it's about building understanding and compassion over everything else.
