Episode notes

Nora Tajori is the host of a podcast called Rep. That's R-E-P and you can find it wherever you're listening to this podcast. She talks about self censorship, being more transparent with how she feels and what he believes. "I wasn't even saying anything at all offensive and they beat me," says one PRX employee who has decided to trade self-censorship for the ability to censor her.

Do you remember a time you ACTUALLY felt represented in pop culture? For Libyan American journalist Noor Tagouri, those moments of being portrayed in a way that feels real can actually be an important catalyst for positive social change. Noor has spent the last decade of her career in journalism, uncovering hidden stories and challenging biases in the mainstream. In this episode, she talks about the importance of telling a story from all angles–and why searching for truth despite pushback is a scary but necessary part of being human.
