Britney Spears is finally telling her own story
Lisa Whittington-Hill and Alessa Dominguez discuss revelations from the pop star's new memoir, The Woman in Me
Britney Spears' memoir, The Woman in Me, finally hit shelves this week after much anticipation.
The pop star's rise to stardom began when she was only 16 years old, with the release of instant hits like ...Baby One More Time. Ever since, Spears' career has been so big it's hard to define. Not only was she exploited in the press for years, but her own narrative has also been consistently framed and controlled by the men in her life.
Writers Lisa Whittington-Hill and Alessa Dominguez join host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to discuss what we got wrong about Spears, and reflect on the harmful ways the public and the media treated her throughout her career.
