Hip-hop feminist theory, new literacy studies, and reader response theory undergirded this study. Findings revealed that participants' self-representations were shaped by (a) the use of multiple modalities (b) the collective Black girl experience (c) society's neglect of Black girls (d) perspectives around personal traumatic experiences; and (e) social norms around literacy and language. |
