S7 Ep 1 - Women In Hip Hop - This Is Who We Are

The Colour Cycle Podcast by Diversity Arts Australia

This discussion was conducted as part of the “This Is Who We Are” Project.

In this episode we are joined by women from across Australia, the US and the U.K connected through their shared passion for Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop has long been a bastion of anti-establishment rhetoric, providing a platform for the voiceless to be heard.

The industry veterans you’ll hear talk about the importance of hip-hop in forming connections, how self-determined spaces are crucial, as well as going over the many challenges they faced when breaking into the industry.
