Nobody Knows My Name

Nobody Knows My Name is a journey into the lives of women in hip hop.
The film is a digital video documentary by UCLA MFA Rachel Raimist. She
examines hip hop as a larger movement and these women as a strong
community within it.

Shot in an intimate, hand-held style the film draws you into the stories
of the main characters-Asia One has found a nitch as an organizer of the
B-Boy Summit, but longs for a sense of female community. DJ Symphony is
the sole female member of the The World Famous Beat Junkies. Leschea
lives a turbulent life, even though she has been signed by a major
label. Lisa married in the hip-hop lifestyle, and now raises a hip-hop
family. Medusa is the successful queen of the L.A. hip-hop underground.
T-Love, an ex-Cripette, hopes her creative talents will help her change
her lifestyle.

Nobody Knows My Name tells the story of women who are connected by their
love for hip-hop music. Despite the fact that these talented female
artists exist within a culture that revolves around self-expression, the
subjects of Raimist's documentary must struggle to be heard.

The film is the first in the series Women Make Music: a journey into hip
hop, jazz, a cappella activism, drum circles, world music, and feminist
recording artists, presented by Carolina Union Activities Board Music
Committee, WXYC, and Feminist Students United.
