A pioneering hip-hop journalist, JOAN MORGAN began her professional writing career freelancing for THE VILLAGE VOICE. There, she quickly established a reputation as a black-feminist writer who was unafraid of tackling the most highly charged topics. Tune in to hear the woman who coined the term “hip-hop feminism” in 1999, when she published the groundbreaking book, "When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost." Morgan discusses writing as activism, her creative process, Hurricane Katrina & Rita, Michael Jackson and romance, The Notorious BIG, and more!
