The movement, created by activist Tarana Burke, has helped survivors and allies push back against rape culture and rally to hold abusers accountable, ousting media moguls, comedy icons, world-renowned chefs and politicians. However, the movement hasn’t quite had the same impact in the music industry, specifically in hip-hop and R&B.⁠ ⁠ Writer Kellee Terrell spoke to Drew Dixon, one of the first women to publicly come forward with sexual assault accusations against hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. Nearly a year after the documentary “On the Record” debuted at Sundance, Dixon opened up about the devastation of Oprah Winfrey dropping out as a producer of the film, her worry that it would never reach its intended audience and why we must center and believe Black survivors.⁠ ⁠ "When I get a DM or an email from a survivor — both women and men — thanking me for 'being brave' and how my story made an impact on them, I am so overwhelmed by emotion that I can’t even type," Dixon tells Terrell. "Maybe it was worth it. But then there are those moments when the women from the film have to personally defend themselves on Twitter in ways that the white survivors of Harvey Weinstein didn’t have to. Or when 'The Breakfast Club' had the audacity to invite Russell onto their show to talk about, of all things, the Black Lives Matter movement, giving him a platform void of any accountability or pushback. Those excruciating and infuriating moments reminded me why so many survivors stay silent."⁠ ⁠ "But what I never waver from is that I am tired of Black women being erased from history, ignored and not believed — exhausted by feeling guilty and condemned for calling out men in our tribe," Dixon says. "Black women bleed real blood and feel real pain from the harm that sexual predators in our community cause. Yes, Black women are magic — we have to be to survive this incredibly cruel world — but we shouldn’t have to be magic to be treated with humanity, security and compassion."⁠ ⁠ "We deserve to be heard and healed. But when will we carve out real space for that to happen?" Read more -link in bio. 📷 @laylahb」2月10日 1時46分
