Just wanted to let you all know that this is coming up. The interview will be with blackhistoryofrocknroll. Be sure to check it out!

Welcome to Black Women In Rock. Here, you can find information on black women in various music genres, all of which are related to rock. This project ran from 2011-2024. It is no longer being updated, but the information has been preserved. As long as I can pay for this domain, the site will never go down.

Almost all posts pre-2020 were pulled from the Black Women In Rock Tumblr page. Those posts have been embedded here, with easier ways to search content and access post categories and tags. Past that date, content is different between the Tumblr and WordPress versions of this blog.

NOTE: There is a bug where when you move onto the second page of content, the Tumblr embeds turn into links. Refreshing the page will load the content properly. Clicking on the link will lead you to the corresponding Tumblr blog post, which I guess is alright, as you can view the content one way or another. 😛

Any questions/comments can be directed to jaleesa@blackwomeninrock.info. Check out the About Black Women In Rock page for more information about the project.

Thank you for visiting!

Hi Folks — I have finished tagging all of the posts by genre. Hopefully this will help to make this blog a more useful resource for finding information. The available Categories can be found on the main site, by going to http://www.blackwomeninrock.info.

Let me know if there are any additional comments or suggestions on how this site can be made easier to navigate. Thanks! — Jaleesa

Hi All — I’m planning on adding music genre categories to all of the posts. One of the most frequent questions I get from people tends to be related to finding Black Women Rockers who are tied to a specific genre. It has always been my intention that this blog be used as a resource above anything else, and making it easier for you to get the information you are looking for is always a priority.

Tagging the thousands of posts that have accumulated on this blog will take some time, but I will soldier through it and post another update once this process has been completed. The music genres will be listed under the ‘Categories’ section so they can easily be found.

If there’s any features you would like to see here, or if you have any other questions or comments, feel free to reach out to the blog in either the comments section on this post, or by email (jaleesa@blackwomeninrock.info). I always welcome feedback and never mind serving as a sort of librarian to help anyone find information. 🙂

Thanks!

Hi there! The blog is in the process of being moved from Tumblr to WordPress. Some posts may look extremely out of wack as a result. Please bear with us while things get set up and cleaned up. Thanks!

EDIT: Some posts lost their attribution in the import process. If you see something that’s yours and would like to be credited for it, please email jaleesa@blackwomeninrock.info with the link in question, and we will fix it for you. Thanks!

EDIT (11/11/2016): Migration is complete as of today. Some posts that are on the Tumblr version of the blog weren’t uploaded here — they either were off-topic, were duplicates, or were hard to organize because of the loss of attribution. Enjoy the content going forward, and thanks for sticking by us!
