Hanna Boys Center today announced that Hanna alumnus and world-renowned performing artist, MC YOGI, will make a stop on campus as part of his Spiritual Graffiti Book Tour. MC YOGI —formerly known as Nick Giacomini—will share stories from his new memoir, “Spiritual Graffiti: Finding My True Path,” and perform live during the event on Friday, November 17th from 6-9 pm. Tickets are $65, and include a reception with heavy appetizers and a copy of MC YOGI’s book. All proceeds from tickets sales will benefit Hanna Boys Center.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Nick back on campus to share his story and talents with our students, alumni and community,” said Brian Farragher, CEO of Hanna Boys Center. “This event is truly about self-healing, and it couldn’t come at a more perfect time, as Hanna and our local communities continue to deal with the devastation caused by recent wildfires. MC YOGI has a great message to share, one that will resonate with the broader community and provide hope that we can all overcome traumatic experiences.”
MC YOGI grew up in San Francisco where he struggled with gangs, guns and violence. He came to Hanna Boys Center as a high school sophomore after being kicked out of three public schools and arrested three times. In his new book, “Spiritual Graffiti: Finding My True Path,” he credits his Hanna experience with giving “me a sense of stability and discipline, and my new friends felt like family.”
