1:00-1:20pm – Even If It Kills Me: Lessons in Mental Health from Chino XL’s Legacy
Tony Quintana, MS, CHES

Biography: Tony Quintana is a loving father, educator, emcee, and activist. He has worked in Health Promotion/Disease Prevention for over 15 years, and has managed health education programs on a wide variety of topics including mental health, positive youth development, HIV, diabetes, fitness and nutrition. As an emcee and show promoter, Tony (also known by his stage name I.Q. the Professor) has been active in the local hip-hop scene in Albuquerque, NM where he co-founded the Conscious Eating and Hip-Hop event series, and is a co-founder of the Dezert Banditz hip-hop crew.

Abstract: The tragic loss of hip hop pioneer Chino XL presents an urgent opportunity to address mental health and suicide prevention through a hip hop lens. This presentation explores the lessons embedded in his life and legacy, highlighting how the culture of hip hop can offer unique insights into mental health awareness, intervention, and postvention strategies. By examining the intersection of hip hop’s storytelling, resilience, and communal ethos, we can uncover innovative approaches to breaking stigmas, fostering dialogue, and supporting those at risk. Attendees will leave with actionable tools and a deeper understanding of how hip hop culture can transform mental health advocacy and care.
