From the east to the west, global and beyond, Polaryss' zone of genius is at the intersection of art, math, science, & tech, taking her to places like Uganda, Benin & Brazil! Polaryss is an educator, Hip Hop artist, and activist whose synergy and passion are unmatched. Born and raised in the Mecca of Hip Hop, The Bronx, New York, Polaryss incorporates her art and life experiences into every aspect of her work. Whether she’s performing on stage or promoting cultural diplomacy globally, she is always educating and entertaining.

As an educator and Hip Hop Ambassador, Polaryss takes pride in the innovative ways she brings Hip Hop into the classroom, pairing it with STEAM and project-based learning to increase literacy.

TIMP offers standards-based quality programming that shines a spotlight on self-advocacy, effective communication, and critical thinking using curriculum-based instruction.
