Destiny Nicole Frasqueri, also known as Princess Nokia, is a 27-year-old rapper, singer, and songwriter from New York City. She is of Puerto Rican descent and according to Vibe, she uses Santería to stay close to her roots. “I like to honor my West African and Taíno ancestry, I consider it sacred and divine,” she said. “The indigenous woman is reflective of the modern, urbanized ghetto woman. I don’t like to lose sight of that. Because my people were oppressed, murdered, and their spirituality was taken away from them, I feel it’s my duty to exhibit it in my art,” she added. “Once we touch back into that tribal sh*t, we can understand our potential as fabulous women and break the stigma of the urban brown woman.”
