NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Who’s That Girl?’ Eve reflects on her time in a male-dominated hip-hop industry

With songs like "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," "Satisfaction" and "Tambourine," Eve's music was a staple of early 2000s hip-hop. In her new memoir, Who's That Girl? Eve and co-author Kathy Iandoli detail the rocky path to the rapper's success. In today's episode, Eve speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about coming up in a male-dominated hip-hop industry. They discuss an early-career setback, female representation in hip-hop today and why Eve disagrees with being called a "kept woman."

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

For decades, the nation of Ethiopia has dreamed of creating a damn on the Blue Nile River. 

Such a dam would provide an enormous amount of electricity for a country that is one of the lowest electricity consumers in the world. Such a project would be a massive undertaking and it would also bring a great deal of prestige to the country. 

What was once a dream began to become a reality in the 21st century, and today is producing energy for the country. However, the project has also caused problems with many of its neighbors. 

Learn more about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, how it was built as well as how it has impacted the country and its neighbors, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
