About Us
RNR was founded in Cape Coast, Ghana in 2007, and in Jackson, Mississippi three years later. We have consistently hosted music and art events in locations as diverse as Hawassa, Ethiopia; Jackson, Mississippi; and the San Carlos Apache Nation in Arizona. RNR is the publisher of Telling Our Own Stories, books of young people's writing and art which we distribute free of charge. We host or collaborate with other orgnizations for projects and events that focus on art, literacy and entrepreneurship. We mentor undersderved youth in and beyond our own communities, and providie tuition fees for talented students in Ethiopia and Uganda who otherwise would be unable to attend school.
