Aaron Myers

Souls of Hip Hop

In this episode we interview Aaron Myers, a locker, bboy, capoeirista and the co-artististic director of the Beantown Lockers. He is also a Harvard University alumni and Vice President at United Way Worldwide. Aaron is married, has two daughters and lives in Boston.
We talk about growing up in the Midwest, hip hop culture being interlaced in ivy league universities, resources for artists and his mission to help communities, balancing family life with work and hobbies, breaking with the Floor Lords and his inspirations in locking.
