THE MARATHON (Understanding Gentrification and Buying Back the Hood)
Here is the frame for how we study. I bring forward conversations, panels, and hear directly from Nipsey about buying back the hood and the community decisions that shaped music, real estate, fashion, and neighborhood practice. You read and watch with a critical social lens, so economics, politics, culture, and place intersect with Blackness, class, schooling, and STEM.

This course stands on the voice of Ermias Asghedom, known to the world as Nipsey Hussle, and the lessons he shared in real time.
Every clip, every conversation, every panel is an archive of his blueprint. What you study here is the way he turned ideas into practice, the way he linked business decisions to community survival, and the way he kept Crenshaw at the center of every move.
The material is curated so you can see how ownership is practiced, how culture is honored, and how presence becomes strategy. Each lesson gives space for reflection, questions, and connections. This is not nostalgia. It is a translation and elevation, a re-raising of Nipsey’s truth, showing how decisions about real estate, music, and partnerships can be understood as a form of teaching.
The course is designed to move beyond watching and into building, so that what Ermias modeled in his lifetime can continue as a living practice.
