Can A Sista Rock A Mic is a five day festival celebrating and showcasing local and global female hip hop artists who are generally unsigned and unaligned with the current tide of mainstream performers. The festival is organized by B-Girl Manifesto, a DC female hip hop collective/weekly showcase “celebrating the female energies in hip hop and beyond.”
Last year's events seemed to have gone down well, with the festival now in its third year and bringing in a slew of talents.
