@cartermagazine She Gave Us King by @syreetagates

In the late 80s a generation of young ladies were inspired by Queen Latifah’s “Ladies First” anthem. We had the privilege of watching on our televisions, as Oprah showed us what generations of greatness look like with the “Legends Ball.” As our minds took photographic snapshots of all the women whose “persuasion can build a nation,” we too believed that ANYTHING is possible. These tunes and images have inspired millions, but what is there to be said about the woman who gave us KING?

Before the world knew Martin Luther King Jr., there was Coretta Scott. We have always heard the saying “In order to know where you’re going, you must know where you came from.” Well this still is revelant today. Scott’s father was an entrepreneur and knew injustice all to well, when his business was burned down. Despite challenging odds, her mother risked her safety by busing her children and the children of others, to the only Black school in their vicinity. Her older sister was a pioneer, becoming the first African American to attend college on integrated terms. Coretta’s parents symbolized the essence of Jay-Z’s lyrics, “So far ahead of their time, they had to start another life,” which is exactly what they did. The tools that her family instilled in her such as perseverance, ambition and hope, prepared her for one of her greatest roles. Being the foundation of a people, lead by one man.

Corettta graduated valedictorian of her high school and studied music and education in college. For these experiences, along with her family’s quest for justice, became the building blocks for her activism. She was active on her local school board, NAACP and college’s Race Relations and Civil Liberties Committees. Because Scott used music as a way to create change, it only made sense to bring life to it in her civil rights work as well. To say the least, as famously quoted by Tupac, Ms King “sparked the brain that changed the world.” -(source: CARTER Magazine)

🎥#ArtIsAWeapon "Ladies First: A Story of Women In Hip-Hop" premieres today, August 9th, on @netflix! I am excited about this docuseries - particularly its timing - since many of this year's celebratory #HipHop50 festivals and concerts rarely featured female emcees/rappers as headliners or barely included them in the lineup. Shout out to:

▪︎ALL the ladies in #HipHop who blazed the trail, changed the game and are at the top of this still male-dominated culture

▪︎My girl/co-executive producer of "Ladies First" Crystal Whaley @tabascofour

▪︎My Bronx sis, the brilliant scholar Dr. @JoanMorgan

▪︎The dope @syreetagates, Founder & CEO of the @thegatespreserve!

Follow @syreetagates and help support this amazing documentary!!! Syreeta Gates: “For 6 years now, I've been working on a documentary called Write On! The Legend of Hip-Hop’s Ink Slingers, a never told documentary about hip-hop journalist​s​. When I was the EIC for an online hip-hop publication I realized that I didn't know any hip-hop journalist​s​. Which led me to collecting because I couldn't find their work online. In hip-hop culture we have often heard the artist story, but have yet heard about the journalist. Now, with over 33 interviews completed out-of-pocket, Kathy Iandoli as the screenwriter more and more answers of YES, it's time to level up. The goal is to raise $30K in ​28​ days! Whew! Not only is that a lot of paper, but Kickstarter is ALL-or-NOTHING. LET'S MAKE HISTORY TOGETHER!” #teamUS

♎️🌟#ArtIsAWeapon Celebrating and remembering the grio/guiding light #GregTate @avantgroidd today - October 14 - his birth anniversary 💞 Reposted from @syreetagates I’m an over thinker. The things that REALLY matter I obsessssssssssssssssssss over. So I’ve been sitting on this for a min.🥺 But in true fashion Tate had (always has) the words. 📝 “LOVE AND THE ENEMY.” 1991. THE VILLAGE VOICE “i realized that the meaning of being black is summed up in who comes to bury you, who gathers together in your name after you’ve gone, what they have to say about how you LOVED, and how you were LOVED in return”. And Unk you are loved always and forever.

Check out and cop tickets to the 5TH ANNUAL #BIGGIEDAY CULINARY COMPETITION being held this Saturday, May 18: www.yostayhungry.com ____________________ Reposted from @pauleannareid - "My newest article is live on @forbes and it’s 🔥🔥🔥YO STAY HUNGRY is a culinary experience that fuses food, beverage, and hip-hop. I sat down with its founder Syreeta Gates. A natural innovator, in 2015 she found herself toying with the idea of creating something around art, hip-hop and food. She took to Google to find out if anyone had began creating in that space, and when she found that nobody had, she decided she would fill the gap herself. This organization has hosted more than 8 competitions, served more than 3,500 attendees, featured more than 60 judges from the music and culinary arts industries, and awarded two competitors with the “Chef Curry with the Pot” scholarship—an award named in memory of one of Gates’ late friends, Terrell Curry and a clever reference to a Drake lyric.
