Sounds Like: " B-Girl Be Event focuses on the ever growing, conscious, socially aware, powerful and positive group emerging and taking their rightful throne; Women in Hip-Hop. I am eagerly anticipating what the B-Girl Be 2006 conference has on deck.” -ASIA ONE No Easy Props, Bboy Summit------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- “I’m an old school graffiti writer who has never seen so many females kicking it together so beautifully. It is very inspiring to me to see so many young women who are passionate about their art. In the male dominated world of hip-hop, these events are rare and very empowering for young women to experience. Having attended many hip-hop jams all over the world, I've found that over all the B-Girl Be summit was well organized, well attended and I believe a very successful event. It's necessary to educate the public about the achievements of women artists and this venue was an excellent format.” -LADY PINK-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------“For the girls and young women who enjoy Hip-Hop culture there is a lack of positive women generated images and role models available. A lot of the images that may seem uplifting or empowering for women still seem to be a byproduct of this male dominated society. The impact B-Girl Be had on my daughter was moving. After seeing all of the young women and girls participating in every aspect of the culture, she proclaimed ’I am a b-girl!’ Though I've been saying that all along, there is something powerful in seeing your reflection.” -I SELF DEVINE------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------- “After years of painting at graffiti/hip-hop events… this was the first time I felt as an artist that I was able to accomplish a feeling of happiness.” -LADYKFEVER------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- “Where I once felt like an island in my own work with hip-hop it now feels like I am within a continent.” -MELISA RIVIERE----------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- “It [B-Girl Be] shows to the outside world (like Whoopi in the film Color Purple who looks back at mister/master)- WE ARE HERE! “ -AISHA DURHAM------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ “This event has changed my household forever. My daughter has urges to paint everyday.” -RACHEL RAIMIST----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------†œB-Girl Be put Minneapolis on the map for women who care and are very passionate about Women in hip-hop culture. “ -CHRISTINA RIMSTAD----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------
