What is the difference between spoken word poetry and rap? Coco Peila, a hip hop artist and songwriting coach from New York City, has done it all, and career hinges on one surprising comment her sister made on this difference. In this episode.

We talk about her work intertwining art with social and climate justice, her role as a songwriting coach, and what goes into being a “hip hop and R&B African diaspora flex”
