Description
Marissa Moss sits down for an exclusive preview of her new book “Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be." In her book, Marissa tells the “inside story of the last twenty years of country music through the lens of Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, and Kacey Musgraves―their peers and inspirations, their paths to stardom, and their battles against a deeply embedded boys’ club, as well as their efforts to transform the genre into a more inclusive place for all.” You can pre-order the book through the link below: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250793591/hercountry This conversation with Marissa also inspired me to reflect on my own experiences of being a woman in the media business. To put it lightly, it hasn’t been easy. I explain more at the top of the pod. Country music has a famous motto: “Three chords and the truth.” It’s important to speak our truths and listen to these conversations with an open mind. By doing so, I believe we all can be the change our future generations need. Thank you as always for listening. *If you enjoy Grounded on Purpose, please take a moment to subscribe and connect with us on Instagram @groundedonpurpose and/or on our Grounded on Purpose Facebook page.
