Like a true Queen

“ My advice to women in general: Even if you’re doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want — and don’t allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. ”— Nicki Minaj

This week we’re paying homage to our favorite female MCs; past, present, and future. From MC Lyte to Lil’ Kim, Lauryn Hill to Lizzo, Queen Latifah to Cardi B and everything in between. These ladies aren’t just female MCs, they’re beast in the industry. They effortlessly hold their own amongst their male counterparts (often outshining them), and show us how to make the heels & hustle game look effortless. They keep it cute for the press and hood for the public, while still demanding respect. Like a boss or better still, like a queen. Get into it.
