Yesterday I had the joy of sitting down with two legends, George Porter Jr. and Booker T. Jones, for separate conversations on the Oral History Stage at the Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival. Grateful to them for their stories. Both interviews were recorded for the Jazz & Heritage Archive.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Each semester, I invite a music artist to speak w/my History of Urban Music students at Loyola University N.O. Tonight, we welcomed Frank Richard of Chocolate Milk, the New Orleans-based, internationally known funk and R&B band of the 1970s and ’80s. Grateful for the stories and knowledge he shared!
