584. Kaitlyn Joshua -- CORRECTED


Listen Later

584. Part 1 of our talk with Kaitlyn Joshua. Kaitlyn was an early victim
of Louisiana's abortion ban after Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022. She had been excited to get pregnant,
but her OBGYN wouldn't see her until she had been pregnant 12
weeks. During those early weeks of pregnancy, Joshua experienced
symptoms she hadn't dealt with in her first pregnancy: mild
cramping and spotting. Without access to a doctor, though,
Joshua felt like she had nowhere to go for answers. She
eventually visited ERs at Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge and to
Baton Rough General. Both hospitals sent her home in spite of
heavy bleeding. Now Kaitlyn is an advocate for women's right to
choose and to get medical care.

    Our two-day celebration is one of the only festivals in
    the world dedicated to honoring Louis Armstrong and features
    two stages of music, a delicious culinary lineup featuring
    Louisiana restaurants, and an incredible indoor lecture series
    poised to educate guests on Armstrong’s history and enduring
    impact.
    Satchmo SummerFest is scheduled annually to coincide with
    Louis Armstrong’s birthday on August 4th; the first festival
    took place on what would have been his 100th birthday, the
    same year the New Orleans airport was renamed Louis Armstrong
    International Airport. The artist often stated in public
    interviews that he was born on July 4, 1900 (Independence
    Day), a date that has been noted in many biographies.
    Armstrong died in 1971 and his true birthdate, August 4, 1901,
    was not discovered until the mid-1980s.
