Hotep
Educational Media Mogul
Born in NYC in the 70s, Hotep is the embodiment of the
progress made during the civil rights movements, the birth
of Hip-Hop music, and the prominence of Pro Black/ African
consciousness in American culture. After graduating
Morehouse College, he became one of the only Black, Male elementary teachers in his district. There, he learned first-
hand how powerful and influential media is on human minds
and psyche. These experiences led Hotep to become an
entrepreneur.
“I HAD to become an entrepreneur,” Hotep says. “I simply
couldn’t allow myself to be in a position where I needed to
seek other people’s permission to make my visions a
reality.”
Today, Hotep is a consultant to schools across the US, a
father of 2 and producer of several different types of media
including: books, cartoons, films, music and video games.
His most recent creation, a family-friendly anime series
called Black Lion and Cubs is a perfect example of why his
work has earned him nominations for the Presidential
Citizen’s Award and as a CNN Hero.
