Young people will have their say about HIV/AIDs at the Hip Hop Leadership Peer Mentoring Program on May 30 at First Afrikan Presbyterian Church.

The all-day workshop, which is sponsored by the church’s Heshima and Kijana Rites of Passage programs, is designed to build awareness of HIV/AIDS in the African-American community.

Teens ages 13 to 18 will write songs, produce beats, create dances, and develop cover art and flyers, and engage in discussion about the subject.

The 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. workshop, which is open to the community, is funded by the Center of Excellence on Health Dispaarities at Morehouse School of Medicine.

First Afrikan Church is at 5197 Salem Road in Lithonia.

For more information, call Bettye Beatty-Wilson at 770-981-9381.
