Bbymutha

Hailing from Chattanooga, TN, Bbymutha is one of my favorite rappers in the game right now. She’s seriously dope. But as she’d tell you she’s just having fun. If you follow her Instagram (@Bbymutha) you’ll too discover that Bbymutha isn’t only a catchy moniker. Photos of her daughters, similarly adorned with her trademark, rainbow-inspired box are proudly shared along with videos of the ‘Lisa Frank of the trap’ raising her kids. Balancing motherhood and being an underground icon isn’t always easy, but it’s most certainly inspiring. Expressed in her lyrics, Bbymutha explores her lived experiences.

Paloma Valenzuela

Paloma Valenzuela, one of the most entertaining guests to appear on the show, is a writer and filmmaker with roots in the Dominican Republic and, locally, Jamaica Plain, MA. She creates a sensational YouTube series titled, The Pineapple Diaries, named for the natural hairstyle. The Pineapple Diaries explores, with humor and sharpness, the experiences of a twenty-something woman of color. The dialogue is expressive and full and did I mention the series was shot in Jamaica Plain? Look for familiar places while watching!

Watch the whole series, first released weekly, here.
