A distinguished panel of academics, artists, and music industry veterans will discuss hip-hop’s influence in corporate boardrooms, living rooms, fashion runways as well as courtside. The panel will consider the complicated legacy of the co-opting of Black art, style, and innovation and how corporate branding has included hip-hop in strategies to reach a broader range of consumers and markets. Naima Cochrane will moderate a panel conversation with Bill Stephney, Nicole Plantin, Gabriel Allan Tolliver, and Carlton Keith Harrison.
