Paul Willis will be bringing Hip Hop Leadership to the PVD Fest stage with his blend of Hip Hop, spoken word poetry, education, and community building.

Paul Willis is a Hip Hop Teaching Artist and his latest work is defining the ABC’s of rap with an album, book, and curriculum offering called Hip Hop Leadership. Since July 2023, Paul has been awarded multiple grants to complete this project, which he piloted with Beat The Odds – Boston, a creative youth development nonprofit organization, Conservatory Lab Charter School, Neighborhood House Charter School, and Frugal Bookstore through a series of author talks and community events. When he’s not in the classroom or the studio, you can find him on stage speaking, performing, or working behind the scenes with creative leaders and organizations that are aligned with his mission, vision, and values. If you’re a fan of Talib Kweli, Black Thought and Common, then you’ll love Paul Willis’ music and message.
