On Thursday the 18th of February 2021 we hosted a virtual Questions and Answers session on Zoom.We held the event to allow students of any education background to answer any questions they may have had, from accessing reading materials to essay advice. We felt it was crucial to check in with students at the start of the second semester to re-engage members. We also felt it was necessary as the second semester has a tendency to fly by and time management for assessments can feel more tasking.At ELSA Maynooth we are dedicated to being there for any student who may need us and this was an accessible way to do so in the current climate.

Despite the negativity and tumult in the South Bronx, Hip Hop heads were able to rise above their environment and create a positive form of release. Instead of substances and violence, their energy was redirected to values like originality, creativity, identity, respect, and community. The same way that our religious, ethnic, familial backgrounds inform our way of being in the world. Hip Hop was the way that people could be in a way that felt right to them. Deejaying, Emceeing, Breaking and Dancing, and Graffiti, weren't just hobbies, they were sanctuaries, as much as the art forms within Hip Hop have evolved over the decades, the core tenants of the culture remain. 

The Bronx in the 70's, was a rough, dangerous place to grow up. The youth were surrounded by drugs, crime, poverty, gang violence, and overall struggle, yet they were best neglected by mainstream institutions. Desperate for a way to escape their everyday struggles, they invented their own art forms. These art forms, which the youth embodied in the way they dressed, talked, moved, and expressed themselves, soon became a lifestyle. A way to live. The lifestyle and culture became known as hip Hop. 

HISTORY OF HIP HOP DANCE. Hip Hop is a style of Dance with a deep historical and social root in American African Culture.It's part of a whole culture of Hip Hop, which started in the 1970's in the Bronx, New York. 

Happy International Women's' Day to all of our amazing women, you are all phenomenal in your own beautiful ways. "Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength" - G.D Anderson"Always be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of somebody else" - Judy Garland
