When a young person hits the teen years nothing’s more important than being part of the crowd, and the crowd, in many places, is listening to music. So what’s the message when much of that music portrays women solely as vehicles for sex?
A group of girls in Dorchester, Massachusetts got tired of hearing words like ‘ho’ and ‘bitch’ on the radio, and decided to do something about it. With some help, they started their own radio station where they choose the hits and call the shots. Although they’re only on the air 4 hours a week and their signal only reaches a mile at best. They are no longer willing to be defined by 50 cent and Ludakris. They’re taking back the airwaves. Time for a little respect on All Girl Radio.
