On Tuesday, June 5, VOX Media Café was proud to host Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and activist Doria Roberts. After performing three original songs and revealing the personal meanings behind them, the teen journalists held a press conference to learn more.

Roberts discussed her musical influences, personal life and political views, and explained their relationship to her music. This video recaps the experience, including exclusive clips of Roberts singing, as well as her verbal answers to interview questions.
