Before Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains defined the Seattle sound… there was Tina Bell. A Black woman fronting a heavy rock band in 1980s Seattle, helping shape a genre the world would later celebrate without saying her name.The Godmother of Grunge deserves her flowers. 🎸 #ameenhalee #BlackHistory #TinaBell #TiktokLearningCampaign #GrungeHistory #musichistory #blackhistory #seattlesound #bambam #nirvana #hiddenfigures #blackrock
