Walker Complex. Currently, Souljah is the executive director of Daddy's House Social Programs, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation for urban youth, financed by Sean Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment. Daddy's House educates and prepares youth, aged 10-16, to be in control of their academic, cultural and financial lives. The students progressing through the program earn support to travel throughout the world. Born in Bronx, New York, Souljah is a graduate of Rutgers University where she received a degree in American history and African studies. She also attended the Cornell University Advanced Placement Studies, and studied abroad in Europe at the University of Salamanca. A global student, Souljah traveled throughout her college years to England, France, Spain, Portugal, Finland and Russia. Her academic accomplishments were reinforced with first hand experiences as she worked in a medical center in Zimbabwe, and assisted refugee children from Mozambique. As a student activist, Souljah created, financed and implemented the African Youth Survival Camp, a six-week summer sleep away academic/cultural camp for 200 children of homeless families. With a skillful curriculum, this camp ran for over 3 consecutive years. As a community activist, Souljah organized against racially motivated crimes, police brutality, and the miseducation of urban youth. She produced and promoted several outdoor rallies and concerts, in Harlem, New York, which drew nearly 30,000 youth each time, as well as the participation of top Hip-Hop and R&B celebrities. In the field of entertainment, Souljah has been on many platforms including radio and television. She was the voice on New York radio that spoke to the Hip-Hop audience about politics, culture, business and social organization. This includes being a featured speaker at the Million Woman March, appearances on Phil Donahue, Oprah Winfrey, and Geraldo. As a Hip-Hop artist, Souljah’s CD entitled 360 degrees of Power sparked international debate over issues of race, culture, sexism and politics. In 1995, she published her autobiography, No Disrespect. In 1999, she made her debut as a novelist with The Coldest Winter Ever. This lecture is open to the general public and admission is free.
