Come out and join Panama Jackson for the inaugural “Conversate With P” event. Our first guest is rapper, producer, educator, and all around interesting human, Grap Luva, whose life through hip-hop and beyond has been filled with interesting stories and experiences. In an intimate conversation between Panama and Grap, we hope to talk about his journey, the successes and failures, and what he’s learned through the exciting life he’s been blessed to live.
CONVERSATE WITH P is a discussion series where Panama draws from his group of interesting friends to curate in-depth discussions with tastemakers and influencers and interesting people who have lessons to give and stories to share.
