Missy Elliotts
Women are relatively sexualized in many ways in hip hop. After Missy Elliot lost weight she did not try to change her style, instead, she made sure that in her music video the dancing was highlighted and the cameras focus on her face. Her strength comes from her mother; she worships her mother and the way she was able to get out of an abusive relationship. She uses her life experience to motivate other and be a strong feminist in the hip hop world. Missy Elliot and Nicki Minaj both challenges the stereotypical Black women that are portray and sexualized in the media. They both uses their fashion to make a statement.
