Hip Hop legend and HHPH Vice President of Entertainment Doug E. Fresh was featured in the Media Anarchist blog. The article describes how Doug E. married his two interests in hip hop and health when he and Dr. Williams created Hip Hop Public Health. Doug E. explains, “I told my father to stop smoking around the age of two or three years old and he stopped smoking. So the relationship between the kid and the parent is very powerful and if you give the kid the right information, it can be very useful to the family. That was the whole premise of this concept.” Doug E. serves as a model for health for his family and community in his food choices and healthy exercising behavior. He has made serving fresh, “1000% healthy” food a priority at his restaurant.
