Meet The Blogger Pt. 2: Ashleigh

By

Hey Everyone!

My name is Ashleigh and I am the second blogger on this account. I already posted a quick overview describing a little about me in the Contributors section. But to go a little more in depth, I am a Baltimore native and have lived here all my life. I have a huge passion for dancing and have been doing so for 15 years. I also enjoy watching and playing a few sports. I like to play Volleyball for fun and watch football. My favorite team is the Ravens (of course lol, Baltimore native remember 😉).

Still to this day, our music has been able to speak volumes while having a good beat to rock to. Now there is a common misconception that ' Black people only listen to Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B'  when that is definitely not true. Our music palette is much more diverse than what people think. Some genres that most African Americans enjoy listening to are: Blues Jazz Gospel Hip Hop R&B  Pop Rap/Trap Music Now the type of genres a person likes to listen to can also depend on their age group as well. For example, my parents don't like listening to a lot of Rap and Hip Hop. They are more of Jazz, Blues, and Gospel lovers.

They fill 80% of the NBA roster and 67% of the NFL roster.
