Hot off the press: announcing the host of our 50th anniversary celebration, Maya Jupiter! Maya is a longtime friend and supporter of POV, and a current member of our Advisory Board. She and her husband, award winning musician Aloe Blacc have served as our Denim Day spokescouple since 2014.
Maya is an Australian hip-hop artist, activist and philanthropist. She was the national voice of Hip-Hop, producing and hosting iconic programs on Australian television and radio. Jupiter’s artivism began early in her career, facilitating hip hop song writing workshops with underserved youth in Sydney.
Maya co-founded Artivist Entertainment to provide support and produce events for artists who use their work to promote positive social transformation. Recently, Artivist produced online events for the #CancelRent and #HomesForAll movement to provide relief to families during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Maya has received POV's Voice Over Violence Humanitarian Award, Tiyya’s Owliya Community Leadership Award, The East LA Community Corporations Mujer Guerrera Award and is the co-recipient of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s Social Justice Fighter Award along with her husband.
Jupiter’s third solo album, Never Said Yes, produced by Grammy award winner, Quetzal Flores, explores themes that intersect feminism, activism, and revolutionary motherhood. The title track was inspired by and serves as our Denim Day campaign anthem.
