Power Is Her Art Form
Art is a medium for self-expression. It comes in different forms—songs, poetry, dance, graffiti, and more. To commemorate International Women’s Day, we want to showcase three women in MTV Shuga who used art to express social issues and their own emotions. It wasn’t easy, but they didn’t back down, and we respect them for that!
