Interviewed @teenvogue’s September cover star, @aokileesimmons

Fresh out of college, the Harvard grad isn't a stranger to the public eye - she was on television in the early aughts, and has grown up the daughter of two very famous parents. But as she starts her own modeling career, she's navigating the heavy scrutiny that comes with the spotlight. As she figures out how to establish her own place in the world, we chat finding her way back to modeling, balancing her Harvard education with a burgeoning modeling career, how her mother @kimoraleesimmons has - and hasn't - helped her in the industry, her relationship with her family and fallout with her dad, and navigating her missteps on social media. Read the full story at the link in bio.

Yesterday, my feature on women in hip hop went live for @thecut and was featured as @nymag 's "One Great Story." I discuss the genre's fraught gender politic — one that has capitalized on misogyny while being propelled forward by the innovations of women.

Many thanks to @jenortiznyc who helped me bring this story to life, @clovito who so graciously shared her insights with me, and all of the women in hip hop — past, present, and future — with a story to tell.
