Jesse The Imaginer

Jesse Gardner AKA Jesse the Imaginer (I'M Awakening Genius IN Every Rap, Room and Ritual) explores life through the art forms of Hiphop and contemplation. He was born in a cabin in Zig Zag, Oregon, a stone’s throw from the Sandy river. Growing up in the boondocks, he was drawn to the rhythmic ways of Hip Hop from a young age. Freestyling taught him a vital life lesson early on: mistakes are a necessary part of growth. He now holds space for others to find liberation through verbal expressions of cyphering, poetry and writing bars. As an educator he teaches Hiphop Literature and English Language Arts and yoga to create space for students to express towards wholeness.
