Anthony Pineda

Anthony explores the intersection of education, technology, and creativity as a means to develop those he works with. Hip-hop is his passion and he firmly believes in the power of knowledge. “Despite the way economics currently plays into the way we develop policy, we must find ways to reignite the fire for learning.” Anthony continues to study hip-hop, mental health, and education; while simultaneously continuing to work with hip-hop and youth in various settings.
After taking the steps to ensure the formation of Creatrix Institute, he continued to develop relationships with people in Silicon Valley. Anthony currently works in the field of education and mental health providing programming for youth utilizing hip- hop culture. Anthony has discussed these topics with people from around the world and believes the future of education is going to be based on how well we teach youth who they are and generate true motivation for learning. Anthony’s drive and passion to create a new paradigm for education to grow and thrive is unyielding. Anthony will continue his work until we create new educational policy that sees the value of cultural knowledge and technological inclusion for youth at all stages of development.
