The Beat Back Bush Workout is a captivating and satirical multimedia project that invites people to exercise their minds, bodies, and rights. It is a twelve-minute educational, informational, and motivational video that seeks to ignite the Hip-Hop Generation in their fight for social justice.

Inspired by music videos and other contemporary media, the video features dance, kickboxing, yoga, jazzercise, break-dancing, hip hop, animation, original spoken word and music. The video addresses a plethora of issues and policies including: education, abortion, drug policy, globalization, the war, gay rights, civil rights, and prison issues. While challenging the state of our country, the video also challenges the state of mainstream hip-hop by sampling from rap songs and artists largely viewed as misogynistic, and re-writing them into revolutionary songs of protest performed through the voices and bodies of hip-hop generation women.
