Hip-Hop Chess Federation

Founded by award wining Lecturer and Author, Adisa Banjoko and artist Leo "Blast" Libiran, this organization is dedicated to providing an inclusive setting for individuals to interact, play and develop life strategies skills with people they view as mentors. "Despite the school systems best efforts and intentions, and the efforts of overworked parents, the past generations have suffered from lack of suitable education and essential resources required for a successful life,", states co-founder Adisa Banjoko, "We recognized that chess, martial arts and hip-hop unify people from multiple cultural, religious and social backgrounds. These black and white squares do not care what color you are or if you are rich or poor. The only thing they ask is show me your strategy, your patience, your skills."
