Mr. Durham
Jaquial Durham is an educator, entrepreneur, community organizer, and creative producer.
He is cultivating consciousness concerning issues in education, popular culture, and politics. As an entertainment executive, Jaquial’s appreciation for hip-hop is front and center in his work, positioning the art form as a voice that innovatively emphasizes societal issues in a palatable manner to translate into tools of activism and organizing.
FOR THE LOVE OF COMMUNITY…
THE START
Jaquial has been an activist since his childhood. Throughout his educational career, he learned that it takes organizing efforts to support those in the community who need it most. His non-profit organization, for the love of community… is an ode to the hip-hop song, “Foe Tha Love of Money”, by Bone Thugs n Harmony. Similar to the song, this organization represents those who are willing to do whatever it takes to improve the community they love.
PRESS PLAY
Jaquial had an opportunity to interview with LiT Nights Show in order to discuss for the love of community…, its beginnings, the journey, and the rewards of being a steward to his community.
“I really was just like forget it, ya know. Im really going to do what I want to do, and do what I love to do. Its now coming together…”
