We are Words, Beats & Life (WBL), DC’s longest running, dopest Hip-Hop based arts educational non profit.We are here to break down those barriers that keep our cities' outstanding young creatives from taking full advantage of the opportunities that come along with living in the Nation’s Capital.

Our goal is to invest in Washington, DC’s creative eco system to employ our extensive list of artists and creators to be living examples of what our city’s creative youth can accomplish with the right tools and the best role models. We achieve this goal through our many workshops, after school programs, concerts and festivals. We are Unapologetic advocates for the transformative power of hip-hop culture in all its forms. We empower artists, aspiring artists and lovers of expression to relentlessly create, refine and define systems that demonstrate positive change through our individual and collective brilliance.

Our arts based educational programs equip youth, creatives, practicing artists and scholars to move from theory to practice. We harness the power of the imagination to reshape the lives and communities we serve.
