President of the centre, Rapper Matador (Babacar Niang) recounted, \u201cshe was really interested in hip hop culture, slam poetry, and graffiti. It was a little surprising because she was a woman. It was new for me, because after 20 years, the only women we had here were interested in rap, and she was interested in graffiti as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unlike Dieynaba\u2019s parents, Rapper Matador thought that her interest and desire to break barriers was a good thing. \u201cI thought that she could bring something new into hip hop culture, because people thought only men were doing graffiti.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;With graffiti she can show the role of women in society. If it&#8217;s coming from a woman it&#8217;s even stronger. Usually people don&#8217;t pay attention to issues.
