Coco Peila (2 of 2)
We are back for part 2 with MC, vocalist, songwriter, producer, and cultural organizer Coco Piela. If you didn't catch part 1 last week go back and hear what you missed first! Her new EP just dropped this month. It's Called "Confessions of a Black Feminist Rapper Part 3".
She is probably best known right now for an amazing song about reproductive justice called "I Am Jane Roe". She weaves through pop culture and political history addressing the overturning of Roe V Wade. Coco was featured in an article by KQED in June discussing the song and the long history of hip-hop artists weighing in on the subject of reproductive rights.
She is the founder of Black Gold Movement, a grassroots organization whose mission is to reverse the flow of resources from the West back to Africa along the transatlantic slave trade routes through Hip Hop, Storytelling, and music of the African Diaspora.
