Stirring the Gumbo Pot

In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview someone who I have admired all of my life. She has been advocating for change since she was in grade school. She continues to advocate for those who lack the fortitude to advocate for themselves. She's a former educator, an attorney and a voting rights advocate in the city of New Orleans. This is one of my favorite interviews because it speaks to faith, courage and tenacity. I hope you enjoy this episode it just as much as I did interviewing her. This episode is dedicated to all women, across the globe on behalf of Women's History Month.

Dr. Clyde Robertson, Ph.D, of Southern University New Orleans (SUNO) is my guest on this episode.  He lectures on the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and the unsung heroes of that movement.  

This episode is a short editorial.  The host highlights a few news highlights of 2024 and explain what's been going on with the podcast over the past six months.  The host also does a memoriam of notable people who passed away in 2024.

This episode is about mental health in the workplace.  This is a very sensitive topic and in no way is it meant to offend anyone but rather we hope to help people to identify triggers and to seek help.  Today's guest is Dr. Willa Thompson, a board certified Family Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.  This is a great episode and the last of a four part series where I sponsored the Women's Chapter of the Amalgamated Transit Union, New Orleans Chapter.  Enjoy!
