Atlanta is a diverse city with a rich history that has contributed to a wide range of musical content to America’s complex musical history over the last two centuries. It is a city where not only rap and jazz have made their defining marks, but where classical music and country music are celebrated as well. Behind all of these musical contributions are a range of incredibly influential black female artists who, over the last century, have created a musical space in Atlanta to not only create, but to express themselves in ways which society has historically looked down upon. These female artists, spanning from blues megastar Bessie Smith to current pop-funk icon Janelle Monae, have celebrated themes in their music including femininity and sexuality, in turn creating space for a conversation on the role that these themes play in the lives of black female artists and for women in general.

In current discourse the general trends of celebrating male artists who discuss topics such as sex and sexuality in their music, while at the same time shaming female artists who discuss similar topics, are prevalent. Specifically, these topics of sex and sexuality, have rarely been depicted for black women in a context of empowerment and ownership. (Carby) Therefore, in experiencing this tour, we will be able to see how these black female artists have used these themes in their music not only to empower themselves, but to educate, empower, and normalize for the future generations of female musicians and listeners.

This tour, celebrating the journey of female black musicians in Atlanta, will begin at the beginning of the 20th century, where the musical genres of jazz and blues were taking flight, and Atlanta's black musical center, Decatur Street was booming. From this point, we will continue to explore the city and visit a range of significant historical sites, some of which are currently in existence, where Atlantan black female artists have had defining moments in their careers. Finally, this tour will take us up to the present day, where we can see how current black female artists in Atlanta are still fighting the fight to express themselves as they wish to in their music and to create empowering musical art. Along each of the tour's stops, we will learn more about the specific history of these significant artists as well as dive into their lyrical content. Through all of these stops, it will become evident how each artist has left their defining mark upon their music but has also paved the way for creativity and expression in the generations following. Furthermore, the evolution of venues and locations that we will begin exploring shortly, is important to note, with early black female artists in Atlanta experiencing their performance careers in the ‘rough’ and ‘unruly’ theatres Decatur Street to later black female artists performing in huge concert halls and stadiums. (Goodson)

Now, let's take a moment to imagine ourselves in the bustling 1910 version of a musically expressive Decatur Street, which is where our tour of Atlanta’s black female artists begins.

Moving back to Atlanta and to the western suburbs of the city we are now entering a seemingly normal neighborhood. This inconspicuous Suburban House that you are in front of is actually the headquarters of Janelle Monáe's Wondaland Records Headquarters. Founded by Janelle Monáe, Chuck Lightning, and Steve Wonder in the early 2000s, the Wondaland Arts Society is a record label designed to promote innovation in music and art. After being discovered and featured by OutKast's Big Boi, It was under this label that Janelle Monáe put out her first EP in 2007 by the name of 'Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase)'. Wondaland, for Monáe, is more than just a name, as it perpetuates her style of funk and futurism for which she is known, and promotes a space of inclusion, especially for African American women and girls. (English and Kim) This location remains an important part of Monáe's career to this day, as she recorded most of her latest album 'Dirty Computer' here. 'Dirty Computer' especially, highlights Monáe's powerful lyrical content, and includes commentary on gender, sexuality, and fluiditiy. (Spanos)

Now we have come to yet another theater on our tour, the Center Stage Theater. The Center Stage Theater, originally known as \"Theater Atlanta\", has seen dozens of the world's top artists perform on its stage. Among these artists is none other than Ciara, Atlanta R&B superstar of the early 2000s. Ciara's beginnings as an artist begin with her joining a girl group by the name of 'Hearsay', which did not last long but gave her a foot in the door of Atlanta's budding music industry. Soon after, like TLC, Ciara also had a record deal with LaFace records. With a decade's long career producing multiple Grammy nominations and several major awards, Ciara's lyrical content, which truly celebrates 'Love, Sex, and Magic', (just like her hit single with Justin Timberlake), was acclaimed.
