Women Behind The Mic: Curators of Pop Culture Volume One Word To The Wise contains the stories of 22 veteran Executives who were the engines behind the most iconic artists of all time. They are the industry Sheroes who quietly toiled in the trenches curating what is known as Hip Hop and Pop Culture today. Propelled by a Sisterhood that personifies excellence and the importance of maintaining a positive self-esteem while working in a male-dominated industry, the Women Behind The Mic (TM) share their front row seat stories while working behind-the-scenes with some of the biggest names in entertainment.
Mary J. Blige, Salt-N-Pepa, The Notorious B.I.G., SWV, A Tribe Called Quest, Sean Diddy Combs, Run DMC, Too Short, and Aaliyah are just a few of the names found on these pages. After finding themselves repeatedly left out of recent Documentaries and Biopics, the Women Behind The Mic(TM) Movement/Book/Docu-Series/Lecture Series was birthed. These women now tell their own stories about the contributions women have made in significant ways to popular music and culture collectively. They have not only developed and made stars, but their joint efforts have led to trillions of records sold worldwide.
