In Harlem this weekend, both Hip Hop pioneers and fans will come together at The Hip Hop Culture Center to honor just a few of the women who have made their marks in the genre of Hip Hop.

Entitled "The Impact Of Women In Hip Hop," the day long event will include dance performances, film screenings, a fashion show, and more.

Among the women being honored are Cindy Campbell, Sha Rock, Jazzy Joyce, Dream Hampton, Danyel Smith, and others.

Also being honored at the event is Amanda Diva, a Hip Hop renaissance woman whose titles have included poet, journalist, singer, lyricist, artist, and radio/TV host.

"It definitely feels great to know that my work is being recognized," Diva told HipHopDX. "It's a very tiresome grind, this Hip Hop shit. Especially as a female sometimes it can feel like you're not really making any headway, but when people recognize you in that manner, it definitely is encouraging and inspiring."

The Impact Of Women In Hip Hop event comes at a time where some may say that Hip Hop is in somewhat of a slump, making it even harder for the female emcee.

"There's always this [constant] talk about, 'Oh, there's no female emcees anymore'. Here it is, it's just that there's no support of female emcees anymore…There's such a bleak landscape for Hip Hop in general that it's only more difficult for females," Amanda Diva added.

Currently, Amanda Diva is the host of DivaSpeak TV which can be found [here]; she is also wrapping up her latest EP Love Experience.

The Impact Of Women In Hip Hop takes place on Saturday, October 4 at Harlem's Hip Hop Culture Center from 9 a.m.-10:30 p.m.
