In this episode of "Beyond Breaking Barriers" from the project titled "Special Issue on Hip Hop Feminism" authored by: Aria S. Halliday & Ashley N. Payne, we dive deep into the world of Hip Hop feminism, exploring its role in empowering Black girls and femmes. We unpack the key concepts, delve into the works of leading scholars, and celebrate the creativity and resilience of Black women rappers.
What futures of Hip Hop feminism can we see from both our academic and lived experiences? How can we combine our analytical frameworks with our love for Hip Hop and blackness to locate liberatory potential? The essays in this special issue highlight our ever-developing answers to these questions and the multiplicitous ways you, dear reader, will be encouraged to answer them, too.
