Plucking Up with Liz Bohannon - A podcast by Liz Bohannon
Categories:
On International Women’s Day, we are featuring the brilliant and award-winning journalist and producer, Noor Tagouri. Her documentary and subsequent podcast series, Sold in America: Inside Our Nation’s Sex Trade received a 2019 Gracies award for Best Investigative Series. She’s amassed a community of over two million social media followers while garnering international praise as one of new media’s most influential voices.Being born to immigrant parents from Libya, Noor talks to me about how her ethnicity and how she felt so unsure about who she was in a sea of kids who didn’t look like her. Apart from Noor’s background, what’s so interesting about the conversation you’re about to hear is how Noor has always been a journalist, from the moment she could speak. In this episode, we dive into so much, from empathy, shame, misrepresentation of Muslims in American media, to why modern-day activism begins with yourself and your home.--Love the podcast?
