    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.  Links: Jodie Ortega's TEDx Talk Intersectionality Matters with Kimberlé Crenshaw

    Episode 1: Music Fan

    In the introduction of her book, The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Critic, music critic Jessica Hopper writes: “The title of this book is for those whose dreams (and manuscripts) languished due to lack of formal precedence, support and permission. This title is not meant to erase our history but rather to help mark the path.”  Growing up as a girl in love with progressive rock in conservative Venezuela, I never felt there was a space for me to voice my opinion and fandom. Using Hopper’s book title as a call for women to create and take up that space, I explore what it means to be a female music fan in a world that’s still dominated by male voices, both on and off stage.  To learn more about Jessica Hopper and her work, visit her website.   Her book, The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Critic is available here.
