Soledad O'Brien interviewed rapper/actress Eve as part of a monthly series hosted by The XX Project, an invitation-only group of professional women in various media industries. Soledad facilitated the discussion with rapper, songwriter and actress, Eve, who discussed her accomplishments in a male-dominated industry.

The XX Project was founded by Michelle Edgar, founder and executive director of Music Unites, an organization providing music educational opportunities to underprivileged, inner-city school students. Michelle is also the VP of business development for New Era Media & Marketing.

O'Brien is herself a role model and CEO of production company Starfish Media Group and a supporter of women's success in areas where they're otherwise underrepresented.
