Ayasel Slay “Girl from Mecca”

This week on Twitter 🙂 In Saudi Arabia, a female rapper is facing arrest for being a female rapper. Most, if not all, female rappers are rapping about women’s empowerment whether it be explicitly stated or even if it’s talking about sex and the right for women to have pleasure. I thought this was relatable to class because we are studying women’s literature worldwide, not just America (which also includes African American women). I wanted to try to find a new topic for my posts instead of just Black women (even though Ayasel could still be Black), and in different countries. This shows how hypocritical government is, but also how controversial speaking up in whatever manner you choose, is too.
