THE SISTAHOOD: ON THE MIC
Hip-Hop is the Place They All Belonged

By E-Fierce

Synopsis

Welcome to San Francisco's prestigious Stanford High School- voted one of ten best public schools in the United States. Mariposa Cólon (MC Patria) thought getting into Stanford High would be her most difficult achievement- only to find herself a freshman - negotiating a world that is very different from her working-class Latino barrio called the "Mission". The students at Stanford aren't the nicest people in the world - in fact, they are uber-intellectuals, crystal meth addicts and hyper-sexual.

When Mariposa (aka MC Patria) meets Ezekial Matthews (MC EZ) they quickly become best friends; together they have the best summer tossing lyrics and rhymes. After the summer ends, Mariposa realizes the only thing she really cares about - besides becoming the best emcee around - is getting Ezekial to love her. Unfortunately, this realization comes at the same time Ezekial gets a girlfriend- Jennifer Hoffman (J-HO), an emcee with a huge buzz.

When her school announces a talent show, Mariposa understands that this could be her last chance to impress Ezekial. She decides to form a hip-hop crew- enter the world of the Sista Hood - MC Patria, Soul Siren, Pinay-1 and DJ Esa, all divas in their own way. While coming together isn't easy, they're forced to collaborate and the course of their lives is changed forever.
