Hip-Hop Artist and Activist
November’s global theme was Chance, and if there is anyone who knows what it’s like to take chances, it’s FM Supreme (aka Jessica Disu). As a peace promoter, hip-hop artist and activist for positive change, she has had to take her fair share of chances to find the way. With some successes and some failures, FM Supreme has met the likes of Barack Obama and traveled the world talking about youth peace movements through hip-hop. In her talk, she explains how she found her calling and the ups and downs of her journey to a packed crowd at Morningstar.
