Laying the Groundwork: Black Women in R&B and Hip Hop at the Turn of the Century

In honor of Black History Month, the AS Black Women's Health Collaborative is taking over an episode of ASPB's Podcast to talk about the songs that are dear to our hearts and shaped the culture as we know it. As a disclaimer, we've never done a podcast before so you'll be hearing our very honest thoughts, meme references, possible vocals, the silence as we take dance breaks, and our repeated appreciations for the artists that continue to narrate the daily soundtrack of our lives. So just sit back and enjoy our very raw and loving sentiments for Black women in music like Mary, Kim, Lauryn, Ashanti, Eve, Trina, Beyonce, Remy, Kelis, and the many more that are unnamed in this podcast, but fill up our personal playlists <333
