From oversized gold nameplate chains to bamboo hoop earrings, women in hip hop have long crafted a visual language of empowerment. Join us for a powerful conversation about Fly Girls, aimed to not only celebrate fashion and style, but also to spark dialogue about race, gender, identity, and self-expression.

Join us for a panel discussion with:

  • Nadirah Simmons, author, First Things First: Hop-Hop Ladies Who Changed the Game
  • April Walker, designer and founder, Walker Wear
  • Toni Grant, founder, Haus of Swag
  • Shara McHayle, founder, Hoop 88 Dreams
  • Moderated by: Elena Romero, curator, Fly Girl

This event is free and open to the public.
