Leroy Moore Here for Summer of 2023 highlights and what’s coming up this school year 2023-2024.
- As Summer of 2023 comes to an end, Krip-Hop Nation got some great news!
- A report back from the Annual Caribbean Studies Association Conference, that happened in St. Croix, Virgin Islands of the US, June 5 – 9, 2023. I presented Krip-Hop work and my masters thesis, Krip-Hop pedagogy. It turned out well and they want me to come back. The downfall was Spirit airlines on the way back home, broke my scooter.
