Another week, another Black Music Month post!

This week, I’m dedicating a post to the women of Hip Hop. For my process this time around, I choose to go with women who not only had the skills (sometimes, better than the men) but the impact on the culture as a whole. While there have been many female rappers have made a mark, these women’s impact is still be felt today. I drew inspiration from Greco-Roman goddesses to pay homage to these amazing women. I also used the post to shout-out some female rappers who paved the way for today’s women in Hip-Hop.

Just like the post on the men of Hip-Hop, I will showcase my sources while giving a peek into my process.
