I am Vicky Kao from Taiwan, and my pronouns are she/her. I'm currently majoring in sociology but planning to switch my major to public relations in com and might get a minor in psych. My post-grad goal is to find a job related to marketing/PR and hopefully pass level 5 or 6 in the TOPIK test. I'm interested in social justice and human-geo as well. So in high school, I joined my school's geography olympiad team. We researched, interviewed, and wrote papers for the geography olympiad competition. I love playing tennis, listening to music, and going to concerts with friends.

Hip-hop has long been a space for artistic expression and social commentary, yet it's also been criticized for perpetuating misogynistic themes that objectify women and normalize gender-based violence. I have a similar thought to the other two fellows. Some may argue that hip-hop is based on the violence in hoods, and misogyny is rooted in their culture. If so, why is the hippo so popular all over the globe and not being banned from mainstream?
