Last week, our dear friend Mauri Skinfill (aka Luisa Black) of Rich Girls left this world. We had the pleasure of talking with her extensively in July of 2020 for an episode of Local Fidelity. Today, we're reairing that episode with a special foreword in her memory. She was so immensely talented and a wonderful person who will be missed tremendously. We extend our deepest condolences to her husband Justin Kerr and all those who loved her.
