He goes by the name "Propaganda." He's an activist, poet, educator and the son of a Black Panther. In his debut collection of essays and poetry - "TERRAFORM: Building a Better World" - this trailblazing rapper and poet puts his teachings into his prose - conjuring verses and visions for creating a new and more equitable world.

In this thoughtful book, Propaganda looks at the ways in which our world is broken. Using the metaphor of terraforming - creating a livable world out of an inhospitable one - he shows how we can begin to reshape our homes, friendships, communities, and politics.
