Coexistence and Cultural Diversity for Kids with Modello Brown
How can children’s books teach kids about coexistence and cultural diversity?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Modello Brown, a children’s book author and hip-hop artist. Brown details how his childhood connection to the more disadvantaged parts of Chicago inspired the stories he shares in his children's books. They highlight how important role models and mentors are to children from all backgrounds.
Modello Brown is an author, artist, successful underground hip-hop artist and self proclaimed “Hood Motivational Speaker,” using his difficult upbringing to inspire other inner city kids looking to carve their own path.
In 2016, he became successful as an underground Hip Hop and R&B artist. It was then he got the idea of bringing different types of people together through art and music. He went on to form the company Hip Hop Littles. Through books, animation, clothing and music, Hip Hop Littles’ mission is to bring different cultures together while teaching children that support, positivity and love can bring them tremendous value and success in life. The Hip Hop Littles children’s book series is all about introducing kids to various difficult facts of life and how to begin to deal with those uncomfortable situations.
