Reggie Rap's Room uses music, storytelling, and play to help young people name their feelings, build resilience, and create joyful communities of belonging.
Reginald "Rap" Unzel III — aka Reggie — is a twelve-year-old aspiring rapper who exudes joy, positivity, and acceptance. Sporting his signature super hightop fade, he's uniquely gifted in emotional intelligence: naming feelings, managing emotions, and practicing self-care through lyricism, poetry, and rhymes.
When bullies enter Rap's new neighborhood, we see the real nuance of his emotional practices — and learn how to extend grace to ourselves in both the hard and happy moments.
Creative experiences that build emotional intelligence and resilience through music, storytelling, and community.
