Music Promoting Social Change

Chad Harper is an Award-winning Hip Hop artist and the founder of HipHop Saves Lives, a non-profit organization that uses music to propose ideas and solutions for positive social change. His most recent initiative was the recording “Ability”, the lead single for the “I’M JUST LIKE YOU” global campaign that highlights the talents of people with disabilities. Recorded in Sierra Leone, it features two rappers — 50 Don and Prophet — who are survivors of polio. HealthCetera host Diana Mason, RN, talked with Chad Harper when he was at the ParaOlympics about his commitment to social change, how a focus on people with disabilities came about, and his effort to create a kind and just world that recognizes the special abilities of every person.
