Dr. Christian's Article About Motown's Black Women Songwriters and Producers Being Invisible Architects At Iconic Record Label Top Ranked

Everything is in divine order.

I recall the day that a University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) senior public relations strategist on the University communications team had just read an online article about me in Essence, regarding my esteemed biography It's No Wonder: The Life and Times of Motown's Legendary Songwriter Sylvia Moy.

He saw that The Conversation was looking for a scholar to write about the women of Motown, so he suggested it to me. Talk about perfect timing.

It's always an honor to represent UIC and the mighty English department. People truly enjoyed the May 7, 2026, article I was commissioned to write for The Conversation called "Motown's Black women songwriters and producers were the invisible architects behind the pop music juggernaut." MSN and Yahoo!News also picked up the piece.

Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you to Motown's "Fab Four" women, who made music history for ALL females behind the scenes as songwriters and producers even as their contributions were ignored or overlooked.

The wonderful thing about history is that it is NEVER erased no matter how hard someone tries. Truth prevails.  #OnwardUpward
