Bridget's feedback:

"You do a great job in this essay setting Queen Latifah firmly in the cultural context; this shows mastery of the topic and the reader is convinced that recognizing her impact is crucial to understand today's music and activism. I would suggest using your sources to go further with the discussion of her influence. For example, regarding the sentence on page 2 about Kendrick Lamar: what "bits" of the performance can be used to investigate that influence? Give your reader a specific detail or two to help cement that discussion. I also noticed that most of the sources appearing in your Works Cited were not actually cited in the paper: keep in mind an MLA Works Cited is a list of the sources you actually mention in the paper (unlike a Bibliography). Rather than cutting down the Works Cited list, I encourage you to think about if those sources can be used directly in the paper to deepen any of the aspects of your existing argument. As you double-check your source use and MLA formatting (including italicizing album titles, etc.), do make sure to proofread: there are a number of moments where incorrect punctuation or similar are impacting clarity."
