VJ Nikki Garcia brings us this story about a group of young organizers who have created a venue for environmentally friendly entertainment via a solar powered hip hop festival.

The mission of Girls Helping Girls is to build a global culture of girls collaborating to make a difference through micro lending programs. The organization was founded by high school student Sejal Hathi. VJ Nikki Garcia caught up with Sejal to learn about this amazing organization of teenagers.

Just because you’re all grown up doesn’t mean you have to act like it! VJIAM’s Nicky Gar-see-a hits the steep streets of San Francisco to watch a street race where the race cars of choice are kids toys and you never know what animals you’ll run into.

Valentines Day has become the over commercialized, self-validating day that many people love to hate, especially the people of San Francisco. VJ Nikki Garcia spent her Valentines Day in San Francisco this year where a huge crowd gathers each Valentines Day for a massive pillow fight. This tradition is about as far from roses and chocolate as you can get.
