Sista' Outsider: Queer Women of Color and Hip-Hop

Abstract

As a Black lesbian feminist comfortable with the many different ingredients of my identity, and a woman committed to racial and sexual freedom from oppression, I find I am constantly being encouraged to pluck out some one aspect of myself and present this as a meaningful whole, eclipsing or denying the other parts of self...my fullest concentration of energy is available to me only when I integrate all the parts of who I am, openly, allowing power from particular sources of living to flow back and forth freely through all my different selves, without restriction of externally imposed definition.
