20 Celebrities Who Have Changed The Way We View Gender
Angel Haze
“Gender cannot rule your interests. Because before you even have a chance to be phenomenal, you’ve already crushed yourself, inside of this little box that says, ‘Girl. Boy. You can only do this, you can only do that.
F*ck that. You can do everything. You’re a big giant heart and a fucking brain. Go for it.“
Angel Haze hasn’t had an easy journey to get where she is today. Growing up in a cult-like family and dealing with abuse from an early age, she has put all that pain towards the dedication she feels for her future. She is now the biggest emerging name in contemporary rap. She defines herself as pansexual, saying “love isn’t defined by gender,” and despite the tough situations she has been through, she’s reassuringly true to herself in her music.
A woman in the hip-hop industry is already pushing some sort of boundary but Angel Haze does is with passion. She doesn’t consider herself a feminist all the time, only on certain occasions: “When I see a woman under fire just for being a woman, when a woman is told she can’t do something because she’s a woman… That’s dumb to me. That’s when I become the most radical feminist you’ll ever see, I’m willing to chew of the limbs of you and your family just to regain equality.“
