Without a doubt, there is an imbalance occurring in hip hop where female emcees have been silenced. Her strong presence is bringing femcees with a message back to the forefront of music as the days of Queen Latifah and Lauryn Hill with a modern twist. Her musical style encompasses an eclectic mix of wisdom, grooves, catchy hooks, and is sure to reach the masses. Queen Yonasda has driven herself in the industry beginning choreographing for BET's own Teen Summit, Planet Groove and Soundstage to opening nationally on the Wu Tang Clan 8 Diagrams Tour (Winter 2008-2009).

As a young child YoNasDa stood by her mother's and grandfather Minister Louis Farrakhan, side speaking to the hip hop nation.
