In 1999, Lauryn Hill graced the cover of the preview issue of Honey, billed as a "fearless entertainment, fashion, and lifestyle magazine for young, urban women." A first of its kind on American newsstands, Honey earned instant acclaim and quickly developed a devoted readership. On the inaugural episode of Culturati, host Kierna Mayo tells the story of how she started the now cult-classic publication with her best friend, Joicelyn Dingle—and how their early magazine dreams ultimately helped define the Hip-Hop Generation and beyond. We hear from Norell Giancana, Phd who wrote her doctoral dissertation about Honey's impact on hip-hop feminism and the culture at large, and get the behind-the-scenes story of the historic Lauryn Hill "Taste the Future" cover shoot by Jonathan Mannion.
