The Role Women Have Played in Hip Hop: Impact of Roxanne Shante

Hart House’s “Women in Hip Hop: Erasure, Trailblazers and Place-makers”” honours Joan Morgan’s concept of “Hip Hop feminism.” This event took place on March 8, 2022 and showcases three incredible voices: Dr. Francesca D’Amico-Cuthbert, Martha Diaz and Lynnée Denise. These trailblazers and beacons of knowledge refuse to be tempered, marginalized or erased. Their shared experiences and knowledge of Hip Hop will have you questioning what you thought you knew about the genre and uncovers the historical and continuing contributions of women in Hip Hop.

Presented by Hart House and Fresh, Bold, and So Def at the Universal Hip Hop Museum: https://uhhm.org/education-center/fre…
