King Khazm will be presenting at the 15th Annual Black & Brown Male Summit at Highline College!

King Khazm speaks on what it means to ‘stand on your square’, citing various life events that have not only challenged him, but have provided fuel and opportunity to propel him towards a life of self determination and success as an internationally recognized Hip Hop artist and community advocate. Khazm and members of 206 Zulu will facilitate conversation and break out groups with the students that explore their personal opportunities of growth and how they work towards their respective roles and responsibilities as young men of color.
