We've been discussing queerness in HH for the last few weeks.  And, I'm enjoying learning from you.  Today, I suggested you take a look at the Rapsody Breakfast Club interview.  I'm including it here for your perusal (the link can be found above).  However, I'd like you to consider this.  Is Rapsody an indication that women can be "real" without being sexualized or queered in HH?  Will they ever be seen without the sexual or gender normative behavior?  Can they just be an emcee instead of a femmecee?

Due: by 10/11/17 by the beginning of class.
