Make a list of songs characters would have on their playlists
Based on the readings, I tried to include a diverse playlist of music because I feel that feel that Xiomara is very multi-cultural not because she is Afro-Latina but she tries to display the mixture of her different cultures based on her poetry. So I included Michel Jackson, Janet Jackson, JLO, and I know she would have some Selena songs on her phone as well. I has somewhat of an older spirit and would have Motown music in her playlist. She is also becoming more aware of her own inner beauty and confidence despite of how others view her so I included Beyonce's song "Lemonade" (Although I am sure she would have the entire album on her phone) and Rihanna's "Diamonds" in the mix.
Indie Arie and Lauryn Hill are amazing R&B artists who write about African female empowerment in their songs.
