@justaace: Being a Black girl who makes rock and alt music feels like shouting into an empty room—loud, full of fire, and still unheard. It’s walking into studios where people expect R&B or rap before you even press play. It’s loving guitars and distortion and being told you’re “doing too much” or “not Black enough.” It’s feeling like your sound is too bold for the culture you came from and too Black for the genre you love. It’s lonely sometimes. Like your community is out there but hidden—watching quietly from behind the scroll. But it’s also power. It’s rebellion with rhythm. Magic with a mic. It’s the freedom to scream, to cry, to love loudly and weirdly and differently. And even if I haven’t found my whole tribe yet… I know they’re out there. So I keep creating. Louder. Stranger. Freer. Until they find me. Or I find them. Because Black girls do rock. And we always have. They just weren’t ready.
