STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM, NOW WE HERE

Starting from humble roots, hip-hop has grown from the creative outlet of underrepresented black teenagers living in the South Bronx in the late 1970s to a highly successful commercialized business that in 2000 grossed over $1.8 billion in sales in the United States.

Early rappers voiced their frustrations of a society in which urban blacks were oppressed, powerless, vulnerable, and underrepresented. They criticized institutions such as the police, the government, and media, as well as the discrimination faced by blacks.

But who knew it would one day become more than that. It started to become a way for people to be vulnerable, voice their life-story in a rythem, and sell it as a product.

Hip-hop currently represents far more than the black community. Think about it fundamentally and you’d realise that anyone who deeply feels what they feel, and has the ability to say it in a rhythm, can be a hip-hop artist. No wonder, its influence has permeated the entire planet, becoming a global creative and economic force. More importantly, the community grew like ripples in a pond. It stirred people by organically invoking self-awareness through relatibile lyrics, and unlocking creative potential.

Startups folks now call this “growth hacking”, which essentially means building virality into your product. Something that instantly hooks people and thus, spreads like wildfire. So much so, that it sells itself.

Through this way of touching, feeling, and, influencing lives, an unshakable hip-hop community grew.

A NEW HOME

Hear closely, and you would hear the walls of the Tibetan Refugee Self-Help Centre whisper stories.

80,000 Tibetans poured into India after losing their home in 1959. The majority of them had brought nothing more than the clothes they wore and whatever little provisions they could carry with them as they began the long and difficult trek over the Himalayas.

A totally different environment without any familiarity with the new culture, language, customs were just a few things that stood between the refugees and long-term rehabilitation; and there can be no rehabilitation without self-help.

A ten-member committee was formed in Darjeeling to establish a rehabilitation center and initial funding was raised through donations, charity shows, and exhibition football matches.

50 years ago, this started with just a few workers, and today it houses over 650 refugees.

The compound houses a picture gallery that narrates the sequence of events and their struggle stories. But cross a few little boys kicking the ball, and you'll realize that the heartwarming story can't be completed without the visitor's shop. Traditional carpets, scarfs, handicrafts, bags are sold with a smile, for you to carry on with a piece of their story.

Small businesses are a reflection of society. Insignificant-seeming items hold the meaning and spirit derived from the community's relentless attempt at survival.

Communities can re-discover fire.

"The global Edtech market size was valued at USD 89.49 billion in 2020 and is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9% from 2021 to 2028."

This is no surprise. Learning tools are everywhere. You can build your knowledge, make a career out of it, and your Edtech platform would provide you with everything that you need along the way - course curriculum, practice quizzes, shareable certificates, etc.

Learning has certainly changed. This newfound joy in what seemed to be a highly dreaded activity is fascinating. Almost infectious in a way.
This is certainly very rare. And such things have a way to blind consumers from a gap in the system - character development.

Sure, there are courses online to help you understand its importance, but it's more of an art than a science.
Difficult concepts like Empathy, Inclusion, Willpower, Mindfulness, Honesty take regular practice to be truly felt and inculcated.
Only then would it be able to shape your thoughts.

How cool/disruptive would it be to combine character development with online learning, to work on the way you think?

This is where learning in online communities and cohorts come into play :)
