Incorporating culture and health information through HipHop, Colores Humanos
is made up of urban youth promotoras guiding themselves, their families,
their friends and their neighbors to holistic health.
Colores Humanos’ foundation rests on the trust in each individual’s wisdom and strength, and the power that is created by creating a collective group of these individuals. Through language arts and cultural exploration, youth are empowered to be health leaders in their social networks.
Our annual youth-organized “HipHopOsium” reaches hundreds of youth through a combination symposium/HipHop concert addressing very real reproductive health issues within our community.
Mind.
Empower urban youth through culturally relevant education/trainings on
leadership and self preservation in order to promote the restoration of
balance between the mind, body, and spirit in themselves & their communities.
Body. Through the creation of a community- run information sharing
event and publication we will mobilize community members around issues
infecting, effecting, and affecting our collective health (i.e. skills/tools
around human sexuality, violence, and drug & alcohol awareness.) Organizing
and educating youth in this 8-week art and holistic health training will
develop awareness of self and how it manifests in their physical health
and behaviors.
Spirit. By providing the tools, resources and education we encourage youth to become positive social change agents around social justice issues. Introducing them to other community leaders assists them in fostering healthier relationships, community referrals, and the revitalization of their neighborhoods and systems.
