Anita Hill: The Moment That Made #MeToo Possible

This week, we dive into the Clarence Thomas hearings and the woman who changed the conversation forever: Anita Hill. Anita Hill made history in 1991 when she testified about the sexual harassment she had experienced while she was an aide to Clarence Thomas, a Supreme Court nominee who had been her supervisor at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We unpack her testimony, the senators who voted to confirm, and the legacy of a moment that still echoes today.

The Forgotten Genius in the Boys Lab

This week we’re diving into the story of Rosalind Franklin, the brilliant chemist whose work literally shaped our understanding of life itself… and who history almost forgot. Before “girlboss” was even a word, Rosalind was out here breaking barriers at Cambridge, fighting for lab space, and producing the famous “Photo 51” that helped unlock the double helix, only to have her male colleagues take the glory. We talk about what it meant to be a woman in science in the 1950s, how her confidence and precision were often mistaken for “difficult,” and why her legacy feels so hauntingly familiar in a world that still loves to under credit women.

Let’s Pretend It’s 2005 and Read Teen Vogue

Grab your Lip Smackers and your flat iron, because this week on RAM Pop Culture, we’re cracking open our Teen Vogue archives and heading straight back to 2007. It’s a full on glossy magazine sleepover as we rediscover the quizzes, cover girls, and chaos that defined an era. We take you through the “What Kind of Best Friend Are You?” quiz (are you a Selena, Blake, Zendaya, or Lindsay?), and of course play “Would You Rather: Teen Edition” We talk about the power of teen magazines in shaping our identities, political stances, and the performative perfection of the “It Girl,” and how every friendship in your teens felt like a cover story. From Juicy Couture tracksuits to the “Young Hollywood” issue, from Zac Efron prom fantasies to finding yourself in the MySpace age , it’s our love letter to that formative, lip-gloss-sticky chapter of growing up. This magazine shaped us and Claire was even in it! Because at the end of the day… history is just gossip, especially when it’s written in pink gel pen. RIP to a LEGENDARY magazine!
