Voices Magnified is an original shortform series that spotlights a wide range of people making change in their communities, confronting challenges and bringing people together. This collection of individual viewpoints gives a national spotlight to timely and important conversations about equality, inclusion and social justice occurring across America today.
Ladies of Hip Hop (LOHH) is a nonprofit organization that provides artistic opportunities for girls & women in hip-hop culture. Through female-powered workshops, performances, public talks, and professional development training, LOHH is educating and cultivating hip-hop's next generation of female leaders.
Ladies of Hip-Hop has been a driving force in the empowerment of girls & women in Hip-Hop. LOHH began as a training ground for female Hip-Hop dancers looking for a different perspective of the dance. It quickly grew from a day of dance workshops to a week-long international festival including female DJs, Mcees, graffiti & visual artists from around the world. LOHH has built an international tribe of girls and women supporting each other.
