So why "Hip, Hope, Hooray"? 

Because Black men are often conditioned to hold things in and keep personal things ‘close to the vest.’ But Oya believes in the power of hip-hop culture to encourage, inspire, and unite this dialogue. 

Every aspect and era of hip-hop oozes resilience, power, and hope, and Oya’s bringing that same energy to the health and wellness space.

“Don’t let pride stand in the way of prevention.” 

We can’t make effective changes in the lives of future generations without changing our own ways of thinking. 

It’s time to change the narrative!
