Shannon Power
The Shapow Show, 1 - 2am

ShaPow has loved hip hop since the age of four.
 
She wanted to 'scratch' like the djs in Run DMC videos, so she used her mum’s copy of Sgt. Pepper's.  The album was in mint condition...her mum was not happy.
 
The ShaPow Show is the only hip hop show on Australia's only LGBTI radio station, JOY 94.9, and proves every week that not all hip hop is homophobic and sexist.

What does feminism mean to you?
Feminism means having the freedom to make any choice that you want in life.  You're not restricted by society's idea of what a woman can or can't do.

When was the first time you remember identifying yourself as a feminist?
I've identified as a feminist since I was a child.  I was lucky to not have any stereotypes or restrictions placed on me by my family and it would infuriate me to see other girls believe they couldn't do or say certain things based on what they were told by the adults in their life.
