What I plan to contribute to the Feminist Activism in Hip Hop Wiki Page: Looking at this wiki page I noticed a number of problems with it. I plan to ultimately clean it up in terms of the writing style since Wikipedia says that it is written too much like personal essay or opinion essay. Another thing that I plan to do is to add several things to it like; more modern feminist movements from both artists and political movements related to hip hop. I do want to add more to this but this is what my main concerns are, especially with the whole process of trying to clean it up so it looks more presentable and visually appealing.

Hip hop as a medium for social change
Hip hop is a growing medium for initiating social change. Some of these mediums being music, culture and even music videos. As Reiland Rabaka observes "the majority of hip hop feminist mobilization at the present moment seems to emerge from cyber-social networks, mass media, and popular culture, rather than nationally networked women's organizations based in government, academic, or male-dominated leftist bureaucracies". As a result, music videos, which appeal to popular culture, can be disseminated as mass media through cyber-social networks, making them a perfect platform for motivating change.

Hip hop is often seen as a form of unifying individuals for the betterment of spreading equality, peace, love and social change around the world. We can often see this come through in movements that empower people of color.
