Speakers

Innovator, motivator, philanthropist, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels changed music and made history when he broke down cultural barriers with his legendary band Run-DMC. The first rap group to grace the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine and the first to appear on MTV, Grammy nominated Run-DMC changed music, culture, fashion, language, and made American history. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. Forty million record sales later, Darryl continues to inspire and impact the world!

In 2014, Darryl launched a comic book company called Darryl Makes Comics. In addition to his new children’s book Darryl’s Dream, he is the co-author of two critically acclaimed books: his recent memoir entitled, Ten Ways Not to Commit Suicide, and a past autobiography King of Rock; Respect, Responsibility and My Life with Run-DMC.

In 2006 Darryl co-founded the Felix Organization with Sheila Jaffe, a nonprofit that works to provide inspiring opportunities and new experiences for children in the foster care system. He regularly talks with kids across the country about respect, responsibility and self-awareness and has appeared before Congress and various State legislatures in support of adoptees and foster children. President Obama invited him to speak at the White House to a group of young men about fatherhood. He also worked with First Lady Michelle Obama on part of her “Get Fit” Campaign. Darryl is the recipient of the Hard Rock’s Love All Serve All Award, the Doing Art Together (DAT) Honoree Award, and the coveted CHILDREN’S RIGHTS Champion for his numerous philanthropic endeavors. He also proudly serves on the Board of Directors of The Garden of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit charity that works closely with all areas of The Madison Square Garden Company, including the Knicks, Rangers, Liberty, MSG Entertainment and MSG Media, to make dreams come true for children facing obstacles.

Makeda Mays Green is Vice President, Digital Consumer Insights at Nickelodeon. In her role, she evaluates the most effective ways to reach target audiences through innovative research methodologies across Nickelodeon’s platforms.

Previously, she served as the Director of Education & Research, Digital Media at Sesame Workshop (the creators of Sesame Street), where she examined the potential of current and emerging digital media platforms to provide quality educational material to children and families.

She has delivered several keynote addresses and guest lectured at Harvard University, New York University and Temple University. She is the author of Makeda: Moving Up in Media and has appeared on The Learning Channel, CNN.com, MSNBC.com and Good Morning America Now.
