Amaya Barrett is a sophomore at Kent County High School. She was born and currently lives in Kent County. She joined the Hip Hop Time Capsule because she wants to learn more about hip hop and step outside of her comfort zone. To Amaya, hip hop is a way to tell a story in a fun way. She thinks hip hop speaks for those who can’t. Amaya wasn't really a hip hop fan until recently, but she has come to appreciate its history, diversity and versatility. Amaya is enjoying learning more about the history and the Blackness of hip hop culture.
