Presented in partnership with United Arts Wake County , The first ever “Scholarly Swag Award” goes to two people who have been holding this community down for YEARS. 🏆🎤

Scholarly Swag is what it looks like when you can spit 16 bars AND close a deal in the boardroom. When you love hip hop not just as a genre but as a culture, a philosophy, a people. When intellect meets authenticity and community is never an afterthought.

This year we honor:
👑 Dasan Ahanu — poet, scholar, NC Piedmont Laureate, UNC professor, and one of the quiet bridge builders of this entire movement. He has been with HHIHE since day one and has poured into this community in ways most people will never fully know.
👑 Miriam Tolbert (MIR.I.AM) — Miriam Tolbert, K97.5’s own, community connector, cultural amplifier, and one of the most gracious supporters this Symposium has ever had. From day one she showed up. Every time. With everything.

And our four breakout session speakers? They ARE Scholarly Swag in action. Check the slides for their sessions — each one is a masterclass in bringing hip hop’s full power into the room. 👇🏾
