REDWOOD CITY -- In honor of Black History Month, rapper and actress Yolanda Whitaker, also known as YoYo, paid a special visit to the Bay Area Saturday to speak to youth and families in Redwood City. YoYo is the protege of Ice Cube. She signed her first deal in 1990 and shook up the world of hip hop as one of its first female pioneers.
The Compton-born artist shared her journey - from the early days of her career, leaving it all behind, and going back to school at age 30. And that's her love for music. In recent years, she founded the YoYo School of Hip Hop, giving back to future artists across the country through free programming and scholarships.
"How she is still trying to motivate youth, and still wanting people to understand the history of hip hop and how especially for women it was never an easy road, and she has still been strong within the game of hip hop," she said.
