We named 206 Zulu as a recipient of the Create Action Grant to support their mission to provide accessible spaces while serving communities through the upliftment, preservation and celebration of Hip Hop culture. As recipients of the Create Action Grant, the organization receives $50,000 in cash to continue and expand their work, $50,000 in Sony Electronics products to support their action plan, and this Sony-produced short film telling their story:
206 Zulu is a network of individuals whose shared objective is to work with and empower local communities. Using Hip Hop as a platform for creative expression, education and social justice, their programs empower young creatives to explore themselves and the world we live in through various events and programs.
"It's really great to see how they change from day one to the end of the program," says Co-Director Kitty Wu.
"We want to make sure that people have the resources and access that they need to develop their skills and their interests," adds Executive Director King Khazm.
