From the times of indigenous colonization, slavery and rise of womyn's rights movements up to today's third wave feminist activism, women of color have been at the forefront using art and music as a form of spirituality. This in turn has given voice to centuries of oppression that have silenced them. Hip Hop's elements: DeeJaying, Emceeing, Break Dancing, Graffiti ,and Knowledge have provided women with the room to articulate the complexity of women's demands for social, economic and political justice.

Description of the Event:

In honor of International Womyns Month, the 2nd Annual Momma's Hip Hop Kitchen is dedicated to Faith, Feminism and Hip Hop. This event will take place at Hostos Community College, located in the South Bronx, the birthplace of Hip Hop. Hip Hop's home is also the poorest congressional district in the nation where negative statistics on women are staggering.

Mommas Hip Hop Kitchen is highlighting CASA at this years event. We are committed to support the sustainability of womyn of color organizations in the South Bronx and NYC. Our goal and hope is to raise some much needed support to make sure that organizations like this continue to exist.

The South Bronx is the birthplace of Hip Hop, and the poorest congressional district in the nation where negative statistics on women are staggering. The South Bronx is also a community filled with churches, botanicas full of spiritual elements, undercover curanderas and healers that constantly provide images that reflect their racial and cultural heritage. For generations, immigrant families tap into music and art in order to stay rooted to their homelands and survive their displacement. Behind closed doors, families keep praying to their ancestors, deities and saints. When family members are ill, or when disasters strike, they call upon their powers by creating the most beautiful of altars for praying, giving thanks, lighting candles and manifesting their dreams.

CASA ATABEX ACHE & Mommas HIP HOP Kitchen will bring this to life at our event.
