Meet the Women of Hip Hop Media. They're strong, beautiful and very successful but what you dont' know about them might surprise you.
First up: Kim Osorio, the hip hop media veteran who climbed to the top of her industry only to be fired after alleging sexual harrassment is ready to talk.
She discusses winning a $15.5 million judgment against The Source magazine, how she reclaimed her life and her upcoming, tell-all new book: Hip Hop Diaries: Trials, tribulations and the truth in her interview with BlackPressRadio.
In this exclusive interview with BlackPressRadio's DC Livers, Osorio breaks her silence about winning the fight of her life, inking a lucrative book deal to detail her experiences while working at the hip hop publication and the long term plan that Osorio has for remaining a focus in hip hop media. Plus, Osorio addresses the rumors of her alleged relationships with hip hop celebrities while working at The Source.
