Episode 6 - Music, Activism, and Values
In this episode, I talk to Jodie Ortega, a speaker, feminist, and artivist--An artivist because she believes that art can be a birthplace of change. During our conversation, we discuss her 2014 TEDx Talk, Breaking My Silence—Healing Thrives in Conversation and look at music both as a catalyst for healing but also, as a mirror for our values and beliefs as music fans, and all in the context of Jodie's life-long but continuously evolving relationship with the music of her youth: hip hop.
