Joan Morgan Biography
Dr. Joan Morgan is an award-winning journalist and author, renowned for her insightful cultural criticism and commentary on race and gender within the hip-hop community. She began her career as one of the original staff writers at "Vibe" magazine and later contributed as an editor and columnist for "Spin". Morgan's writings have also been featured in publications such as "MS.", "More", "Interview", "Working Mother", "GIANT", and "Essence" magazines. In January 2000, she enhanced her influential role by joining "Essence" magazine as an executive editor.
Morgan introduced the term "hip-hop feminism" in 1999 with her influential book "When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost". This book, which is incorporated into college curricula nationwide, marked a pivotal moment in cultural studies. Continuing her examination of the hip-hop culture's impact, her recent book "She Begat This" provides a critical analysis of "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" and its cultural significance. Her literary contributions have established her as a leading voice in the discourse on music and gender.
An articulate and dynamic speaker, Morgan is known for her engaging discussions on the multifaceted experiences of the hip-hop generation, alongside her extensive career in music journalism. She has appeared on various television and radio platforms, including MTV, BET, VH-1, and CNN, further highlighting her expertise. Morgan was also featured in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary "Night in Vegas", showcasing her versatility and broad appeal in discussing complex cultural phenomena.

Joan Morgan Speaking Topics
In this riveting lecture, keynote speaker Joan Morgan argues that a functional feminism for the hip-hop generation must address the beleaguered state of African-American relationships, families and marriages. Her unique insights offer compelling, refreshing alternatives to the collective panic evoked by doomsday statistics. This lecture can be also be offered in the more intimate format of all women/men discussion groups followed immediately by a co-ed address.
Drawing from almost two decades of experience, media speaker Joan Morgan explores the often conflicting words of hip-hop and feminism. She shares her journey from pioneering hip-hop journalist to becoming the foremother of hip-hop feminism, while exploring challenges faced by young women and men of the hip-hop generation.
The speech looks at Barack Obama's candidacy and election, and the changing racial and ethnic composition of America since Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech in 1963. What would Dr. King make of the changing composition of America and its impact on America's black and white racial binary? Who are we talking about in 2011, when we use the term African American? How useful is it to still use the terms Black and African American interchangeably? And finally, what impact does this heterogeneous and multi-ethnic American Blackness have on the country from a political, social and economic perspective?
