Alexia Norton Jones grew up in the world of music and literature. Her father is the former speech writer for Martin Luther King Jr. and her grandfather was the late publisher, W.W Norton. In the late 80s and 90s, she lived in New York and ran in the same social circles as Hip Hop entrepreneur and founder of Def Jam Records, Russell Simmons. Alexia discusses the reverberations of revealing she was raped by Russell Simmons. She speaks with Julie about how Black women have been regarded within the Me Too movement, where the movement falls short and where she believes the movement must go next.
