I stand before you today feeling very confident, steadfast and powerful at the same time, I am surprised, that I as a young African woman, have impacted and effected the development of not only national politics, but international politics as well. Listen to the interview by clicking the player at the bottom of this page. She offers up some very powerful words that’ll definitely make you think.įor more info on sista souljah check out her website at Souljah focuses on issues like what it means to be an African Woman, The definition of Love and Relationships. The second part was delivered in several years later in Washington DC around 2000 The first 35 minutes are excerpts from a speech she delivered in Oakland, California as part of the Nommo Lecture series at McClymonds High School in the early 90s. In the excerpts we gathered she drops some serious bombs which will hopefully serve as an inspiration for those listening. In whatever capacity you know Souljah, you know that she is fearless, insightful and always on point. She made her recording debut on Terminator X’s album ''Valley of the Jeep Beats'' on a song called Buckwylin’ where she traded verses with Chuck D. Many of us also know Souljah as a former member of Public Enemy who put out her own solo album called ‘360 Degrees of Power’. She responded to Clinton's remarks with a hard hitting statement of her own that we included at the end of this article, just so you can have a better understanding of who she is and what she's about. His repudiation of her became known as a Sista Souljah moment. Homeboy was definitely out of line as we later came to discover that Clinton took her remarks out of context and then dissed her as a way to show white America that he was willing and able to stand up to Black people and Black interests. Others may know Souljah as an uncompromising activist/ Freedom Fighter who was the brunt of unsavory remarks from former President Bill Clinton back in 1992 after the Rodney King uprisings. She’s given us two incredible books called ‘No Disrespect’ and the ‘Coldest Winter Ever’.
In celebration of International Woman’s History Month we went digging in the crates and pulled up some old yet timeless tapes of Sista Souljah.
