    🎤 Episode Overview:
    This soul-stirring and power-packed episode of Da Testimony takes us deep into the untold history of hip hop through the extraordinary life and spiritual transformation of DJ Flame—a Bronx native, one of the first female DJs in hip hop, and now a minister of the Gospel through Holy Hip Hop.Host Paula Brion creates a sacred space filled with warmth, laughter, truth, and testimony as DJ Flame shares her incredible journey from spinning vinyl at 14 in after-hours clubs to becoming a trailblazer with the Mercedes Ladies, and eventually answering God's call to minister through music.

    🔥 In This Episode:
    ✅ Early Roots in the Bronx: DJ Flame recounts her upbringing in the Gunhill Houses of the Bronx, where her passion for music began. From spinning at house parties to hustling vinyl from Moodie's Records, her journey was marked by resilience, curiosity, and defiance against gender norms in the DJ world.

    ✅ The Birth of Hip Hop Culture: Flame offers a rare insider's view of hip-hop's earliest days—before Sugar Hill Records. She reveals her experiences performing at Emma's Place, where she connected with legends like DJ Hollywood, Cool Kyle, Kenny Anderson, and Grand Wizard Theodore, and participated in the cultural explosion that predated commercial hip-hop.

    ✅ Breaking Barriers with the Mercedes Ladies: As a foundational member of the first all-female hip-hop crew, the Mercedes Ladies, DJ Flame shares how mentorship, perseverance, and raw talent carved out a space for women in a male-dominated arena. Her story reveals the rehearsals, relationships, and raw passion that made history.

    ✅ Transition to Holy Hip Hop: Following seasons of hardship and growth, DJ Flame reveals the divine encounters and confirmations that led her to rededicate her life to Christ. Through prophetic words and obedience, she transitioned from secular stages to sacred turntables, remixing mainstream beats with Gospel lyrics and launching a new chapter as "The Flame," inspired by Hebrews 1:7.

    ✅ Present-Day Ministry: DJ Flame now ministers through music on WHCR 90.3 FM, hosts community events, and utilizes her platform to educate, inspire, and uplift through the culture of Holy Hip Hop. Her mission: flip the narrative, flip the culture—for Christ.

    "In this season, don't get ready, be ready.
    God is shifting the atmosphere and elevating His people.
    What once held you back won't hold you anymore. Stay in position and know your elevation is now."
