In these times when ignorance seems to be the norm focusing in a specific problem like hip-hop was a great idea to keep us engaged in the academic writing learning process. The attention Miss Adrienne gave to being part of the campus created a whole new level of participation and action to absorb information about consciousness and the role music and art play in this matter. I remember one day I was really depressed and she took us to a show after an environmental consciousness fair. When I saw random people dancing I felt the rhythm and the collectiveness of the group that was having a great time. I felt relieved because I was not depressed anymore.
