Kim Osorio, 'The Source' and hip-hop's overdue reckoning with misogynoir
Podcast: All Songs ConsideredRating: Explicit Published On: Thu Apr 27 2023
Description: In this episode of Louder Than A Riot, we ask what it means to speak up in a culture where it's always been safer to keep quiet. In 2006, Kim Osorio, then editor-in-chief of The Source, sued the magazine and its owners for workplace sexual harassment. Nearly two decades later, hip-hop still has not had a true reckoning around sexual misconduct. The Louder team talks with former Source writers who take us behind the scenes at the hip-hop bible and the circumstances that led to the suit. Activist Tarana Burke, creator of "Me Too," also reflects on how this case could have put hip-hop ahead of the curve on reckoning with misogynoir.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
