Executive Director - Jillian Girardin (“JU$T JILL”)
Jillian Girardin is a female hip-hop artist and local hip-hop cypher organizer from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her hip-hop sound is unique and has an upbeat, wholesome feel, with songs such as "Life For Us" and "We the Smartest" from her debut album, “Jillion Dollar Dreams.” Her music consists of empowering women, discussing personal struggles, and living life to the fullest. Jill released her sophomore album, "WomanHood." Her music video, "Sounds Nice," her first single off the album, is available now on all streaming services.
Jill also co-organizes The Bridgeside Cypher and is the Executive Director of the Cambridge Hip-Hop Collective, a non-profit community organization and hosts of The Bridgeside Cypher.
Initially being one of the few female artists participating in her cypher community, Jill encourages all women to participate and step out of their comfort zones to work towards their craft. The platform allows artists to get on the mic, express themselves, and leave their comfort zone without being judged. The Cambridge Hip-Hop Collective encourages people of all experience levels, backgrounds, and ages to join their inclusive cyphers that are free to the general public.
