Session Description

HomoHop is at the intersection of many communities: people of color, hiphop, progressive politics, popular culture and queer communities. This gives HomoHop artists both special insight and unique vision. We convene a panel of current HomoHop artists to talk about their challenges and their joys, hosted by DJ of the queer black podcast The Da Doo-Dirty Show.
