"Sometimes Being a woman is like being black twice" ~ @MumuFresh
Mumu's Blog

I'm so appreciative to everyone that shared the clip of my verse online. I gained over 60 thousand new fans in 1 week just because I spoke the truth. Wow, what a great time to be alive! I want to thank everyone who really understood the importance of what was in that verse and of what is happening socially for women and the world right now. It's more that just a #Metoo or a #Timesup hashtag, that I hear some people speaking about begrudgingly, waiting and hoping for its passing. It is the much needed and long overdue restoration of energetic balance on the planet. If you can't respect the womb you came out of, and can't understand the necessity of balanced feminine energy on the planet, you have no idea who you are and why you are here. I am honored and humbled by the thousands of people who have emailed me asking for my rap lyrics and who have performed their own covers of my verse. You haven't heard the masses care about reading rap lyrics since the 1990's. So again thank you.
