Lupe Mendez vs. Reverence

Listen Later

On this week’s episode, Brittany and Ajanae continue their mini tour of the South in Houston, Texas. Next, they talk with Texas Poet Laureate Lupe Mendez about familial responsibility, masculinity, education, and the preservation of memory. 

Until Next Time:

Here are some pieces of media to accompany your experience of the episode, and a writing prompt to tide you over until we meet again!

  1. José Alfredo Jiménez - El Ultimo Trago
  2. Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation
  3. Sylvia Plath - Daddy


    4. Prompt: Write a singular moment or story from three separate generations of your family. The stories do not have to have any obvious connection.
