Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction might never be forgotten, but what about her legacy as a trail-blazing feminist? Janet cut a path for female pop performers controlling their own narrative. She was an advocate for women getting what they need in the bedroom before most people even knew the term “sex positive.” And she did it all while the press critiqued her every move, and her body, too. Culture writer Clover Hope joins Brooke and Aricia to set the record straight. Clover shares what it was like to meet Janet at a Manhattan sushi bar, her love for Poetic Justice, and her take on the aftermath of Janet’s Super Bowl halftime show.
