Music is so prominent in black culture and brings us all together at the happiest times of our lives, but also the most difficult times. In this episode Leanne, Liv and Shan share their picks for a Dope playlist - from songs that make them feel empowered, to songs that represent a significant moment in their lives, to songs that people would be surprised that they love (there are some real wildcards in there). 

They also dive into hip hop feminism. With the rise of black female MC's in hip hop, such as Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat reclaiming the narrative and owning their sexuality, our Dope Black Women ask the question: 'can hip hop ever be feminist?'  

The Dope Black Women Podcast is all about bringing black women together to discuss the topics that matter to us, connect and support with each other and through our digital sisterhood.  

Your hosts are: Leanne Levers, Roshan Roberts, Olivia Cope
