BIO:
Lah Tere is a humanitarian, organizer, activist, emcee, songstress, proud B*W, and a visionary speaker for the 21st Century. The Afro-Antillean/Puerto Rican/Boricua sister grew up in Chicago's historic Puerto Rican community of Humboldt Park near the famed Paseo Boricua. She is the first generation born on the mainland, and the daughter of revolutionary educators and survivors of Chicago's notorious ghettos. Lah is a proud Aspirante and active member of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. Her sheroes are her mother Carmen Maria, Abuela Maria Teresa Serrano, T**i Lah and Dr. Antonia Pantoja (founder of ASPIRA).
Lah was a member of Rebel Diaz, an internationally known rap group that took a critical and political stance on many social issues from police brutality on the streets of New York to violence against women globally. Her dedication and hard work granted her the opportunity to travel to Spain, Germany, Guatemala, Chile, and Venezuela. She is also a founding member of the Rebel Diaz Arts Collective (RDAC), a multimedia arts and music community center in the South Bronx.
Lah writes and performs about domestic violence issues and links popular media examples of violence against women to secrets and silences in communities of color around molestation, r**e, and other forms of violence against women's bodies that are too often normalized and naturalized in popular culture. Lah is a B*W ( Big, Beautiful Woman) and is not afraid to show it. She honors her curvas and demands respect.
Through her political and global activism, Lah Tere has worked to carve her own niche outside of the commercial hip-hop industry, and focused on building communities from within. As an emcee, she uses hip-hop as a didactic tool as well as an emotional release technique for individual and communal healing.
Lah is a co-founder of : The Soup Kitchen for the Hip Hop Soul (MHHK), a multifaceted hip-hop event designed to showcase intergenerational women artists, especially women of color.
