Abstract	Science communication is an intersectional practice that involves informing and raising awareness of science-related topics, while increasing public engagement with science. Although there is a fair amount of data in understanding the relationship between scientist representation in popular media and identification with STEM, there is still more to learn and understand about these relationships, especially in marginalized populations such as Black women. This study explores science communication at the intersections of hip-hop, popular media, and Black women's science identities. Using narrative inquiry informed by content analysis on public commentary on science music videos, this study examines messengers, messages, and voices of science, focused on videos created by science communicator Raven the Science Maven. This study investigated the following research questions: 1) What are the public's response and reactions to the representation of Black women in hip-hop as displayed in the Raven the Science Maven videos? 2) What are the sentiments of joy and living unapologetically Black as captured in the reflections of Black STEM and non-STEM women to the Raven the Science Maven videos? 3) Given the responses and reactions to Raven the Science Maven science videos, what are the tenets of Culturally Responsive Science Communication as it relates to the representation of Black Women in STEM? Eighteen Black women in STEM and non-STEM professions participated in semi-constructed interviews to share their narratives of their relationships and experiences with science and in the workplace. The findings informed a critical conversation on the impact of media representation of scientists on public identification with science, creating safe spaces for STEM and non- STEM Black women in science, and the utility of hip-hop in science communication. The contributions of this work involve (a) the reactions and reflections of the general public to the representation of Black scientists and science via hip hop videos, and (b) follow-up reflections of unapologetic joy and the significance of this representation of Black women scientists, by Black STEM and non-STEM women, and importantly, (c) the above informed a new Culturally Responsive Science Communication framework undergirded by Culturally Responsive Teaching and Black Feminist Thought. The findings of this study have implications for best practices related to science content creation aimed at Black scientists' representation, and giving and sharing voice with traditionally marginalized communities, thus forging a new future for science communication.
