When it rains, it pours.

First thing first. 'Miss Rap Supreme' is over.

Rece Steel from The BX took home the $100,000. She was going up against Byata from Brooklyn. Rece was just a b-girl, raw and ready to get down and battle on a street corner.

Byata had the mainstream commercial appeal. Some people thought that Byata should have won because she was more marketable. And others felt that Rece needed the 100 grand more.

For me. I think that the person who was supposed to win, won. You can catch the rerun marathons on VH1.

A lot has been going on over the past week which has made blogging almost impossible.

Happy Tuesday,

I want to thank everyone who has checked in. I am a believer in what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I titled my introduction to this blog Who Am I because I wanted to stress the point that I am more than just a hip hop artist.

When I started out and still today, it was evident that this was a man's world. Making the transition into businesses outside of hip hop is not an easy transition, especially for a female.

This is why I'm so excited about all of the accomplishments Queen Latifah has made.

I've read all of your comments and noticed that someone wanted to know "Who was Yo Yo to write a Black Music Month blog?" and "What did Yo Yo have to say?" I didn't take offense. I can take a punch, even fall down.

But guess what? I'm going to get back up.

I don't think I should really use phrases from R Kelly being that I'm disappointed in his judgment, however, I do happen to agree with one of his lyrics: "When a woman's fed up, there ain't nothing you can do about it!"

Who am I?

I am a mother, a teacher, a community activist, a rapper, a voice, a radio personality, a host, and a leader!

My journey to becoming fearless started because I was tired of being sick and tired.
