Femmenicity is an event that focuses on redefining the woman’s role in the Hip Hop culture. It aims at creating unity within women in Hip Hop by providing a platform to showcase their talent; be it poetry, DJ-ing, fashion, dance, rap skills or entertainment business.

The event will make sure women in Hip Hop have a strong sense of self identity and empowerment. It will help develop and provide women with positive roles that are present and represented within the Hip Hop industry. In other countries, female rappers and poets have made their mark and gained considerable recognition; but in East Africa and especially in Kenya, women lack the support they require, hence they neglect their talent.

Femmenicity brings together the Hip Hop ladies, such as Lness, Kadah, Tamic, Sugar, Faith Nancy, Xtatic, The Magicianz and many more, to share the love for Hip Hop and the element each represents. It is time to stand up, take notice and give props to those women who have left their mark on Hip Hop culture.

There will also be the opportunity to be part of an open Mic session. If you want to perform please send an email to: agynem@yahoo.com
