In today's episode of the podcast, I have a conversation with Michele Byrd-McPhee about her journey, mission, and impact with Ladies of Hip Hop. She drops so many golden gems, from sharing her history, to about her community, her mission, and her outlook on our current world.
\nA tireless advocate for girls and women, Michele Byrd-McPhee is the founder and Executive Director of Ladies of Hip-Hop. Michele has been working for over two decades to re-contextualize Hip-Hop spaces and conversations regarding sex, gender and race. Under her direction, LOHH cultivates dance environments that honor and acknowledge the roots of Hip-Hop and the many creative pioneers who have shaped them. This is especially important given the ways in which Black dance has been co-opted, appropriated without acknowledgement to its community cultural origins.
