/10.08.2022 Barbz, class is in session. Nicki Minaj has inspired a college course, which will be taught at the University of California, Berkeley next year. The African American studies course, titled Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms, will be offered at the esteemed institution in the spring 2023 semester. Taught by professor Peace and Love B El Henson, the 90-minute lectures will be held twice a week from January through May 2023, according to Berkeleys course catalog.
