Headlines started calling Big Freedia an “overnight sensation” when she was featured on Beyoncés “Formation” and Drake’s “Nice For What,” but she’s been in the bounce music game for over 20 years. We talk to Big Freedia about living a dual life on and off stage, her love for New Orleans, coping with grief and of course, performing with the Queen Bey in her home town plus so much more. Check out her book Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva. Girl down!

Black people in every industry – entertainment, sports, politics, culture – have worked hard to forge new paths and make change, and we want to talk about it. On The Table is Ours, hosts Kirby Dixon and Amira Lewally are doing exactly that. Instead of asking for a seat at the table, we are building our own. Through open, honest and deep conversations we’ll learn how Black identity has informed, empowered and fortified the lives and careers of our Black faves. Listen up, because we are only getting louder.
