      And that's what makes some "healing" and "accountability" so damn difficult because we may not see the fruits in our lifetime #HipHopEd

    So we should all commit to doing one thing to address the way women are portrayed and treated in our culture, comm & classrooms #HipHopEd

    I agree. But it took a minute for things to change, Rosa wasn't the first to say "hell nah, I'm sitting here!" #HipHopEd

    All people, creators and consumers, need to work against misogyny in hip-hop. It can be addressed without eliminating tradition #HipHopEd

      Teachers can help: make sure girls voices are heard in classrooms. That will help more men see more women as peers.

    "People can't change" seems like a cop out (by the people who resist change because it requires effort or loss of power). #HipHopEd 2/2
