“Ms. Natalie Lewis-Schere, Executive Director. Mr. Seth “Brimstone” Schere, Director, Preserving, Archiving and Teaching Hiphop, Inc. (PATH). This was certainly one of the most entertaining meetings and the organization’s mission and programming dovetails neatly with the work done by Diana Ortega’s NGO, Fundación Ayara. The speakers discussed their work and questions focused on how they overcome the social stigma associated with hip-hop and rap music, how they managed to reach financial self-sufficiency, and how they measured the results of their program given that outcomes are often qualitative. Excellent meeting.”

“PATH – This was not your ordinary meeting. Natalie Lewis-Schere and Seth Brimstone shared their passion for hip-hop and young people with the visitors through live rap, videos, emceeing and more. The visitors were very interested in hearing about how the organization has been able to take a culture with many negative role models and use it to empower young people and transform the message. Several of the visitors (especially the Colombian IV) expressed interest in future collaboration with Natalie and Seth.”
