Hip-Hop Salvacao EP

Help me to conclude my dissertation and share my love for hip-hop widely!
My name is Daniela Gomes, I am an Afro-Brazilian woman and I am currently taking my PhD at UT Austin.
One of my passions in life is hip-hop. Through hip-hop, I realized my reality as a Black woman and my potential to pursue my dreams.
Hip-hop is the topic of my dissertation "Hip-hop Salvation: the transformative role of the Brazilian hip-hop movement" (temp. title). My research tells the story of Brazilian hip-hop and how it worked as a tool for salvation and empowerment of Black youth, from Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I am from.
I am almost concluding my dissertation and ready to present my baby to the world. But I need your help to finish one of the most important parts of this project.
As part of my dissertation, I decided to write one rhyme for each of the chapters I am writing. 
But because is a project about music and resistance, I realized that doesn't make any sense, have beautiful words, but  not sound at all.  So, I decided to create an EP with these rhymes as part of my dissertation.
I don't have any funding specific for this kind of project, neither personal funds that I can use, especially because as an international student I live in a really tight budget.
I am not an artist and I don't have any company or brand sponsoring me, so everything is coming from my heart as a symbol of my love for hip-hop.
This is the reason why I am here asking your help to bring this project to life. I already have a producer that is going to work with me, he is an important name in the Brazilian hip-hop scene and was also one of my interviewees. He lives in NYC and is willing to help me with a really good price.
The expanses I will have with this project are the producer fees, the value of the media to record it, the amount that goes to create a simple cover, my airfare and lodging in NYC. 
If you donate, I will be able to conclude my project even if I still need to put something out of pocket.
You can donate any amount that you think can be helpful. I also would like to ask you to share this widely on your social media.
So, lets dream with me?
Thank you so much 

P.S. This is a link to my TEDtalk where I shared one of my rhymes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O35r8Y5aJes
