2006 Press ReleasePress Release (initial) 2006 Press Coverage
2005 Press Highlights"There was no bling. There was no rump-shaking. No one passed the Cristal. The female-empowered B-Girl Be hip-hop summit in south Minneapolis looked more like a United Colors of Benetton ad gone hip-hop than the stereotypical videos gracing cable TV." "One of B-Girl Be's strong points is that it's built on a multi-tiered, well thought-out platform. It includes theory, education, and analysis--for instance, panels on Women in Hip-Hop Scholarship and analysis of Women in Hip-Hop Media--but achieves its goal of ground-level, cross-generational outreach and community-building by showcasing the active culture of hip hop." "Five minutes into the rehearsal I was moved when I realized the students were taking good care of my culture. Watching how they embraced every word, calculated every move and captured every element, I knew I no longer had to worry about the history of hip-hop. This group of sixth, seventh and eighth generation of hip-hop were taking good care of my mother." "Anything with the words "hip hop" and "Intermedia Arts" is worth attending, but even by those standards, this is special." Print Highlights:
