Rocky Rivera. Hip Hop Journalist, M.C. and........... Teacher?

It's been a crazy week so far. Actually, it's been a crazy few weeks. I am swamped with so many pictures that I don't even know what to do with it. This semester has been a very productive one. I'm happy to be busy like this.

Anyway, this week Rocky Rivera performed at the Cesar Chavez Student Center and had also attended a recording poet/music/spoken word session at SFSU. This was my chance to take pictures of a person that had influenced me to get into hip hop again. In the classroom I had the opportunity to ask her questions about her success an an M.C., what had influenced her to make her album, and what books had influenced her growing up. It's nice to see a female (let alone Filipina) to try make a change in hip hop and to represent all the womyn M.C.'s in the world. Make it happen Rocky. We are all countin' on ya.
