Getting confused for a groupie backstage or being assigned gossip are too common for Black women writers trying to cover hip-hop.
In 2018, an annual year-end report from market monitor BuzzAngle stated that, across streaming platforms, hip-hop was the most digitally consumed genre of music. However, simply because a genre has a broad audience and dominates popular culture does not mean that there's true diversity when it comes to who gets to tell its stories.
Things haven't changed in the years since I left school.

It didn't go over my head that amongst a group of white women, Bonnie was the one to put an end to the tyranny of an abusive man, and it's clear that it further marked her as being different.

Season 2's premiere makes clear that as Madeline, Renata , Jane , and Perry's widow, Celeste , are laser-focused on resuming their lives, Bonnie is struggling deeply with the repercussions of that night.
Apparently, on the set of their movie, Paulson would sing Rihanna's songs or make up some of her own. During their phone interview, Paulson busted out with another original tone after joking that she should be featured on R9.
Another video shows Jenner in costume, excitedly announcing that they'd be watching the first episode.
