GET YOUR REVENGE..Not by fighting, screaming or cursing but by going to school! Sister Roxanne Shante (Lolita Gooden), 80′s hip hop icon & female rap legend, earned an Ivy League PhD, fiananced by a hidden clause in her first record deal.
Youngins might not know who she is but those who had the distinct honor of growing up during the powerful emergence of TRUE hip hop, Roxanne Shante became a legend. She set the precedence and opened the door to all the female rappers that would brick the foundation that she laid.
“This is a story that needs to be told,” Shante said. “I’m an example that you can be a teenage mom, come from the projects, and be raised by a single parent, and you can still come out of it a doctor.”
