About Vol 8: 2015
Annually we shed light on different social issues. For Volume 8 this year we are bringing awareness to violence in our communities, especially violence against women. This year we continue to use hip-hop as our tool to educate the masses and build awareness around violence against women.
MHHK 2015, is an invitation to RISE, AWAKEN and BECOME. We are calling for a paradigm shift in thinking and being for this year’s event. We will broaden the conversation from local and national governmental violence to the global oppression that has used the female body as a weapon of war for centuries. Women of all ages are being raped, assaulted, molested, abused (e.g. forced sterilization, breast ironing, female genital mutilation, prostitution, sex work, honor killings, acid throwing, trafficking, police brutality and femicide). Women have been enduring absurd amounts of pain with little to no healing outlets. There has been an invisible chokehold on women from Juarez to Chicago, Palestine to Puerto Rico, Africa to the South Bronx. We can’t breathe!!! We are calling all women and girls from around the globe to come back home and demand justice with their drums and their candles.
Enough is Enough MHHK, Vol 8: 2015 is a Response and Spiritual Call to Action to:
• RISE and awaken the Spirit of women and girls all over the world
• HEAL the mind, body and spirit of people of color from the impact of oppression
• BECOME that which we already are, fearless, courageous and powerful!
