In this episode of the Ladies of Hip-Hop Podcast, we sit down with Jackie Lopez, aka Miss Funk, the brilliant co-founder of Versastyle Dance Company. Together, we reflect on the challenges and triumphs of navigating the dance world during the pandemic. Jackie shares candid insights on the origins of Versastyle, its mission to uplift communities through Hip-Hop, and her journey as a mother in the dance world.

We explore the unique challenges and triumphs we face as Black and Brown women in the industry, from breaking barriers to balancing motherhood and artistry. This conversation celebrates resilience, legacy-building, and the power of creating spaces where our stories and contributions are seen and valued. It’s a powerful testament to the strength and brilliance of women in Hip-Hop.
