Kwon Yin Khronicles
Kwon Yin is the only female Buddha. Legend has it that Kwon Yin heard the cries of the people and sacrificed spending eternity in paradise so that she could bring comfort to the suffering. Through our blog, Heaven’s Girl Entertainment is here to tell the stories of the women in Hip-Hop who have in various ways, sacrificed their own successes to support the people around them. These women are in the background of an industry that thrives off fame and attention. Many of the stories we tell have never been told. The names may not always ring bells, but the work they have put in has made noise and allowed the culture to grow into a global movement and changing the lives of millions across the world!
Heaven’s Girl celebrates Hip-Hop History Month . . . honoring the Women in Hip-Hop who laid the foundation for the culture.
