Description

S.H.I.E.L.D….TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT The Society for Hiphop Innovation Excellence Leadership and Development (S.H.I.E.L.D.) is an event planning organization with a mission to establish positive relationships between Hiphop artists, entrepreneurs and the local community at large. Hiphop, in and of itself, is a community and a culture of which the entire World has embraced. We strive to create opportunities to educate, develop skills and preserve Hiphop culture through community seminars, workshops and events. The 9 elements of Hiphop include: 1. Deejaying, 2. Emceein,’ 3. Breakin’ (dancing), 4. Beatboxing, 5. Fashion, 6. Street Language, 7. Street Knowledge, 8. Graffiti Art, and 9. Entrepreneurialism. S.H.I.E.L.D. has been established to provide a means of education and the preservation of these elements. Our short term goals include building a membership that interacts positively within our community and contributes to society in an uplifting manner. In addition, we aim to create fundraising events for local charities and non-profits, and establish mentoring and motivational programs with schools and youth organizations. From television commercials and theme songs, to fashion and lingo, Hiphop culture is ubiquitous. Our ambitions include providing artists and entrepreneurs with the guidance and experience of both locally and internationally known professionals and motivational speakers. Our first step in the direction of these goals is to have the 1st Annual Windsor Hiphop Music Festival. This is a fundraising event to benefit “The Friends for Atkinson Pool and Park Inc.,” a not-for-profit organization established in 2001 to save and preserve Atkinson from being sold by the city to developers. In saving the park, they have maintained the pool and developed swimming programs to subsidize the cost of lessons for low income families. As well, they have built and continue to build a skate park for the local skate boarders and BMX riders on Windsor’s often forgotten, West-end. We feel honoured to be able to assist in their continued efforts. The long term goals of S.H.I.E.L.D. include, but are not limited to, acquiring our own non-profit status. This status will allow for us to continue to fundraise and provide people who have a desire to pursue a career in the music, television or the arts with bursaries, grants and even scholarships. Additionally, we plan to expand throughout Ontario and Canada and the movement gains momentum. We invite you to find us, follow us, and join us on Facebook as we honour our Hiphop heritage and develop new and innovative variations of the culture and its many art forms. For now, peace, love, unity, and safely having fun while we protect and preserve the culture that has meant so much to so many.
