This article examines Hip Hop as part of Black feminism through the voices of Black women as a decolonizing practice and as a diasporic phenomenon. It explores how Black women artivists use the tools of Hip Hop (in its artistic diversity) as a form of decoloniality, which extends to embodied knowledges. Other artists show how the category of transvestite is a gender classification that has a history that reaches back to pre-colonial Africa, and help to open a mental, epistemic space to think about ways of being that exist in Afrodiasporic societies and remember the African legacy, e.g., using elements of Afrodiasporic religions such as Candomblé in their Hip Hop performances. It emphasizes how these artists opened the door for a decolonial and intersectional process.
