Tabitha Soren on Photography, Panic Attacks, and Overwhelming Grief

People are many things. Tabitha Soren became famous for her
conversations with star musicians of the 90’s during her stint on
MTV News. But that’s not who she is anymore. Tabitha is, among
many things, a mother grieving the loss of her daughter, Dixie,
in a 2021 car accident. She talks about the challenge of having
to come up with words to talk about Dixie and what her family has
been through in the last year and a half. And she talks about the
inspiration she stills draws from the life Dixie led. Tabitha is
also a successful and acclaimed artist, working within the medium
of photography to create pieces that are vibrant, complex, and
multi-layered in both the literal and figurative sense.


And yeah, she is still the same person who had a front row seat
to important musical moments. She fills us in on what it was like
to be an extra in the Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right” music
video. It involved cream pies that were far from fresh.
