<div>Krip-Hop Nation/Leroy Moore is raising funds t get to the 2025 annual Association of Black Anthropologists (ABA) 2025 spring conference, “Anthropology and the Black Experience,” in Dakar, West Africa downtown on May 14-18, 2025 and then planning after the conference to make my way to the University of Cape Town to present to students and professors about my studies and work. My topics that I’m planning to present at both the conference in Dakar, Senegal and at the University of Cape Town are Hip-Hop, Disability and the building of Krip-Hop Institutes globally, especially focusing on Krip-Hop chapters in Africa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This will be my third time working with Black disabled African musicians. Since 2015 Krip-Hop Nation have not only built solid chapters all over Africa but also organized major tours in the San Francisco Bay Area and in South Africa and raised funds to help a single father of two disabled daughters to get wheelchairs and help pay for schooling in Uganda.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a graduate student at UCLA, I have an opportunity to work with my Advisor H. Samy Alim,who has years of research, writing and teaching in the field of Hip-Hop and has deep connections in South Africa's Hip- Hop scene. All of this and my new connection to the Disability Studies program at University of Cape Town under the leadership of Sumaya Gabriels, will be leading up to amazing future work like postdoctoral work at University of Cape Town, a report back aka presentations at UCLA and Poor Magazine/Krip-Hop Cape Town Tour showing the new film documentary, Crushing Wheelchairs and the ultimate starting to build the Krip-Hop Institute in Cape Town and starting a new Krip-Hop chapter in Dakar, Senegal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below is a sample of my involvement in the arena of disability and music when it comes to Africa. Highlights are as follows:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2016 Krip-Hop Nation and ThisAbility Newspaper of South Africa did a tour around South Africa,
</div>
<div>In 2018 Congo Handicap visited Krip-Hop Nation in the San Francisco, in July
</div>
<div>In 2019 Krip-Hop Nation hosted a San Francisco Bay Area Summer music festival featuring disabled musicians who came from the Congo, Uganda, Tanzania and South Africa and more.
</div>
<div>In 2024 Leroy Moore with Kelvin Sauls who is originally from South Africa and now is based in LA planned and implemented the first annual seminar on trans-national strategies in erasing Black ableism that had a disabled poet/ activist from South Africa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond music, in 2015, Leroy Moore under Krip-Hop Nation sent two wheelchairs to a single father with two disabled daughters and also raised funds to help in continuing the education of one daughter of the Ugandan single father.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With I hope graduate travel grants and your donations, my presentations opportunities in Dakar and Cape Town and working with my advisor, H. Samy Alim, puts me in a great position to bring my graduate studies, my years of working with disabled African musicians to organize and write up what comes out of my May travels, networking and presentations for an academic journal and a report back through a presentation in my department of anthropology with a collaboration with other UCLA departments like the new Disability Studies program and Department of African American Studies and the new UCLA Hip Hop Initiative.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds will go towards my travels from LA to the conference in Dakar, Senegal then to the University of Cape Town then back to LA all in the month of May. The funds will also cover accessible accommodations and recording equipment among other things to produce a multimedia presentation and an academic paper for journals.
