ABOUT

ABOUT THE GUMBO

The Gumbo is a hub that showcases the multi-dimensional experience of Hip-Hop and its consumers on a global scale, and aims to reframe, re-energize and reimagine its role as a purveyor of womanism, activism, musical innovation, fashion and politics.

In the context of the gendered space that is Hip-Hop, the voices of women are often pushed to the back, if not ignored altogether-especially when they are of the Black diaspora from which the culture came. Our intention is to transform how these bodies view themselves, how they view music, how they view the structures and systems that operate around them and amplify the voices of women making plays in the field. Through editorial content, online and offline events and the dissemination of vital information on developments in the culture, The Gumbo aims to inspire creative leadership and contribute to a cultural shift that reframes, re-energizes, and reimagines women and their relationship with Hip-Hop.

The Gumbo will be an innovative space in media for the creative excellence and activism of women-identifying bodies as well as be a haven for Hip-Hop lovers and listeners.
