Hi Mtcandy101, I see you haven't used your sandbox yet. Just wanted to say hello! From your hip-hop class.

Article Evaluation: Hip-hop feminism Needs more information on "Queerness in Hip-Hop section." This section also only lists Queer artists but does not talk about their contribution to Hip-Hop feminism. I want to write about Young M.A's contributions Mtcandy101 (talk) 03:07, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Made edits to Young M.A page

More information has been added about specific artists such as Tyler the Creator and Frank Ocean but there is still no information on Young M.A. Correction to Rihanna Mtcandy101 (talk) 04:21, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Added to "Queerness in Hip-Hop" about Young M.A Katorah Marrero, better known as Young M.A is a queer female artist that challenges gender norms with her music, appearance, and behavior. In an interview with The Breakfast Club, a youtube channel whose videos consist of celebrity interviews, Young M.A talks about her childhood and how she identified more with guys than with girls. She used to play football and would cut the hair off of her Barbie Dolls in attempt to make them look more like boys. She also mentioned how it was difficult to come out at first, especially to her mother. Even when she first started getting noticed for her rapping, she agreed to rap about boys and even wear a dress if necessary. Yet, she never did this. She mentions how none of that was her; she wasn't that type of person so she wasn't going to pretend to be it. In an interview with Vogue Magazine she told them "...once I got that out of me, the music became easy" when referring to what it was like to disassociate herself from femininity in her career.
