How's yall's summer going??? It's hot in New Orleans. And that humidity makes me glow HARD! I thought it'd be fun to wake the show up this week to introduce a couple of new conversations I had recently. 

First, 

I was contacted about an amazing skin care brand that has revolutionized the way brown skin is taken care of today. I was super intrigued. And asI learned more, boy was I doing things wrong! 
Brownkind was created by dermatologists of color to address the needs of melanin-rich skin. With products made with melanin in mind, your best skin day is every day. While most skincare companies use primarily caucasian skin to study effectiveness, we studied only those with melanin-rich skin. We focus on your skin using our proprietary blend of phytonutrients from start to finish, because proven science leads to proven results.

Founded by dermatologists of color with over 50 years of experience, Brownkind is here to offer you the long-overlooked knowledge you need to give your skin the care it deserves. 

Listen as I am schooled in caring for brown skin by 2 of the world's leaders, Dr. Gauri Desai and Dr. Abhijit Desai and learn more about their amazing skin care brand at www.brownkind.com

______________________________________________________________________

Then later I welcome back my own personal favorites of mine- Past 2 term Mayor for the city of New Orleans, Mr. Marc Morial. Also leader of the National Urban League. 

Recently, I got to talk to him about the Homelessness situation in New Orleans. I wanted to make sure I was on the right side of things. I know and I SEE that our amazing Council person, and friend of mine, Ms. Lesli Harris has her fingers on the pulse, honey. It gives me chill bumps at the passion in her voice that gives way to the charm in her smile. The date proves we are on the right track! But there is always time to reflect on what can be done better. Life is always about getting better. And I know with passionate civic workers like Council Member Harris, along with the heart beat of our city- the future data will prove even better. AND I CLAIM THAT IN HIS NAME. Check this exclusive out with the People's Mayor. My always mayor. Thank you Mr. Marc.

Thank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

It’s the NolaPapa Summer Finale! 

And for this one, we  welcomed back one of my FAVORITE segments! Our Summer finale with Ochsner Children’s Hospital is packing a blast from the past with our EMERGENCY! With Dr. Mutter.  

Dr. Lauren Mutter leads the way at Ochsner Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Emergency and much more!! 

As a stump jumper from an itty bitty town in South Mississippi, this one hits hommmmeeee.

Everyone remembers, recalls and probably uses the infamous “OLD WIVES TALES.” Coming from Mississippi this papa remember most with BOOZE! Ha! Did they just get these kids drunk back in the day or is there some scientific proof behind them! 

We had a fun little contest with our audience to see if THEY could recall some stand outs from their childhood! And social media did not disappoint! 

The winner Dr. Mutter chose is Brent Asay of New Orleans! Who knew that my FAVORITE OF ALL TIME GAME SHOW could help heal your body! Who freaking knew??? Let’s be real- we always knew it? 

Brent- you have one 2 vouchers to Cafe Du Monde that includes 3 beignets, and a drink! Thanks to all that submitted. They’re awesome old wives tales. I can’t wait to revisit this.

This is an entertainment segment only. For any emergency call 911. To learn more about Ochsner Children’s Hospital go to www.ochsner.org.

————————————————————-

Then later

Y’all remember those crazy storms a couple of days ago in the evening?

Well, I was in the middle of an interview with New Orleans Psychic medium, Cari Roy! Seen on the today show and all over, she has returned to our show for our summer finale! And the lightning and thunder participated!

Have you ever been around an employee or colleague that says, “don’t talk to me, mercury is in retrograde. “

It absolutely used to crack me up! But turns out, y’all! There are real effects from this. Cari broke it down with 
 
and now I know a little more about retrograde. And did you know that retrograde happens to other planets as well? Neither did I! Listen now!

And to learn more about Cari and all of her work go to www.neworleanspsychic.com!

Only one more week until our Summer finale! And the momentum is building! Can you feel it? It’s like  indigestion but the OPPOSITE!! 

This week, we welcome an ICON in the Young Adult genre of authors, yall. Mr. Gordan Korman took time to sit with me and discuss his brand new book, SNOOP that was just released! 

Our amazing friends at Cafe Du Monde started sponsoring this new segment with the launch of our season 5 back in January and folks, today’s summer finale of NolaPapa Reads does NOT disappoint! 

Today we welcome New York Times Best Seller, Mr. Gordon Korman!  A Canadian author of children's and young adult fiction books, Korman's books have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide over a career spanning four decades and have appeared at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list. 

From Gordon Korman, the bestselling author of Restart, the story of a boy who's stuck at home with two broken legs... and who starts using cameras and a drone to spy on his classmates, neighbors, and a possible criminal who's come to town.

If Carter hadn't been checking his phone, he might have seen his brother coming down the ski slopes in his direction. And if Carter had seen his brother in time and avoided the crash, he might not have two broken legs right now.

Oops.

Find all of his books LITERALLY everywhere- but a quick tap at amazon here!

———————————————————————-

Then later,

We welcome back for our Summer Finale of “Early Miracles” with Ochsner Children’s Hospital and the legendary Dr. Harley Ginsberg. I can say legendary because this doctor has shaped the way these precious NICU babies are cared for. He has built a dedicated team that daily and passionately allow these babies to receive the early miracles they need to thrive.

As a parent of a premie, those first weeks scared the hell out of us. It was like we were dropped in a bath of cold water. I wish I had the knowledge I do today back then. And because of THAT- I created this segment.

Learn from the BEST in the country in just HOW to care for your itty bitty nugget when you get home. Because it is DEEP. Nothing can prepare you more than a conversation with Dr. Ginsberg.

He is my bud. And we have BIG PLANS for the future and it includes a brand new Video Series to help explore even MORE in the world of Ochsner Children’s Hospital’s NICU.

There should be a cliché saying like- "This one time, at House of Blues."

 I know myself has a FEW. Though, I have only seen the New Orleans venue, that treasure box is a whole vibe of it's own. 

House of Blues holds the key to most of the elements you see at other House of Blues around the country. Listen to this rich history! 

Your papa is a LITTLE bias because, where in America can you find the most charming and intoxicating (no pun intended) venue, than the House of Blues location here in New Orleans, La? 

The French Quarter is a preservation pocket of yesteryears. Keeping with the tradition and look of the iconic Quarter, General Manager, I.V. Miller diligently works year round to ensure that House of Blues- New Orleans is not only open- 

but, thriving. 

Listen in as we talk about how I.V. got this amazing job opportunity while he was in NYC.  He's a big, biker looking fella- so, he is PERFECT for the Quarter!                       But I can tell he is a teddy bear at heart!

This summer, week after week, they have got amazing gigs planned that will elevate yall's weekends! 

Listen in to all the awesome things coming to House of Blues soon! 

Wallflowers? Vintage Fest??!! Let's GOOOO!!

Then later, 

Thanks to our friends at Cafe Du Monde, we are still churning out some of the HOTTEST new releases from New York Times Best Selling Authors, yall! 

This week, New York Times Best seller, Tiffany D.  Jackson's BRAND NEW hard back Middle Grade novel hit the stores and she is not playin'! 

Tiffany's ability  to perfectly combine the mystery and suspense, coupled with representation is so brilliantly accomplished for our younger readers. 

I have some, and let me tell you, START THEM YOUNG, HUNNY! And can I also just say, It starts at home? 

These young people are OUR FUTURE LEADERS of our amazing country. Thank you, Tiffany for giving these babies your valuable resources; rich in imagination, immersive adventures & strong emotions- all with the ability to have our kids walk away more inspired than a tablet ever could be. 

Find Blood in the Water now!

Mega bestselling and award-winning author Tiffany D. Jackson (The Weight of Blood; White Smoke) makes her thrilling middle-grade debut with a can't-put-it-down murder mystery set on Martha's Vineyard. R.L. Stine, bestselling author of Goosebumps, says, "Don't miss this one!"

This summer, beware of sharks...

Brooklyn girl Kaylani McKinnon feels like a fish out of water. She's spending the summer with family friends in their huge house on Martha's Vineyard, and the vibe is definitely snooty. Still, there are beautiful beaches, lots of ice cream, and a town full of fascinating Black history. Plus a few kids her age who seem friendly.

Until the shocking death of a popu

One of my most favorite things to do is laugh. Seriously. There are some things you cannot do with others. I could name a few but one thing you don't do is laugh at a funeral. Don't do that.

 BUT! LAUGH your butt off with anyone YOU SO CHOOSE, anywhere else! 

When you do, appropriately, you create this moment with others that disperses quickly! 

 In that moment, you produce this burst of brightness. Either within yourself, or even more effective, with others! 

Today we welcome an amazing Comedian that recently graced our Nola's own, Dirty Coast Apparel shop to record her very first NATIONAL Comedy show!  

Jessica Michelle Singleton joined me to not only talk about her freaking hilarious and brand new comedy special, BUT her driving force to be who and where she is right now. 

Not sure if yall know this or not but or FEMALES of our country are outnumbered in this amazing profession and I will go out there and say probably in most professions! This gal is FUNNY you guys. Please listen to this and show her some love by watching this insanely comedy special taped at Dirty Cost!

Find all of her laughter at: www.punchup.live

You know every season, I track down the most inspiring people I can find. Gay Pride is no different! This month is packed with amazing interviews from awesome humans that make this world a better place for all of us! 

This week, we continue on with our "NolaPapa Reads" segment, sponsored in part by our friends at Cafe Du Monde! Garrett Glaser has just released his new memoir and it checks all my boxes! 

A journalist for 30 years, Garrett Glaser traveled the world covering "beats" as diverse as international development, street crime, business and Hollywood. As a business reporter at CNBC, he conducted live interviews with hundreds of CEO's, politicians, analysts, regulators and activists. 

Earlier, Glaser spent a total of 12 years as a reporter for WABC-TV New York, WPLG-TV Miami, Entertainment Tonight and KNBC-TV Los Angeles.

At Entertainment Tonight, Garrett interviewed a diverse group of celebrities and notables, including George H.W. Bush, Mariah Carey, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harrison Ford, Mick Jagger, Rosie O'Donnell, Gwyneth Paltrow,Julia Roberts, Diana Ross, Sting and Elizabeth Taylor. He also traveled to a maximum-security prison to interview mass murderer Charles Manson.

Then later, 

We welcome NYC's hottest gay therapists. Brian Spitulnik is a licensed psychologist in New York City that specializes in helping gay men through their own traumas. His instagram reels organically popped up one day and I was living for it. Brian has a way with cutting through bull shit that gets straight to the underlying point.  Throughout my own life, I have pockets full of PTSD and Brian was able to pull a fast one and turn around the interview from him- TO ME! I was no expecting that and it was really good for my mind. I highly recommend Brian to any gay out there, whether in NYC or Kansas! He does virtual sessions and you definitely won't regret it!

Teacher's Appreciation AND Mother's Day in the same week?! Boy what a packed show! Each year we highlight amazing teachers that help shape our children's lives every single day.  

This year we welcomed back Mr. Greg from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard! This time he is an AUTHOR! We are so happy for him as he starts out this exciting new portion of his platform! 

 Meet Greg Smedley-Warren, affectionately known as “Mr. Greg,” an experienced, current  kindergarten educator and the creative mind behind The Kindergarten Smorgasboard. With an impressive 19-year teaching journey, Greg’s expertise spans various grade levels, including a brief stint in fifth grade and two years in second grade. However, it was a reluctant transition to kindergarten that unveiled his true passion and calling.  Never wanting  to teach kindergarteners, Greg’s journey took a turn when he discovered an instant connection on the very first day of kindergarten.   From that moment on, he knew kindergarten was his calling.   Fuelled by his dedication to his students, Greg has proudly remained in the kindergarten classroom for 16 years, continually inspired by the boundless energy and curiosity of his students. 

Mr. Greg posted something that went absolutely VIRAL and he and his husband have not looked back since! 

To learn more about Mr. Greg go to thekindergartensmorgasboard.com.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Then later we celebrate the mamas out there. I cannot imagine what yall go through! So strong, so resilient. I could only wish to be as much. For a couple of years now at nolapapa.com, we have introduced our small group of writers that help to showcase the complexities of society. Well... one of those writers comes a sassy chica named Becky Balfe. Becky, Becky, Becky. Boy oh boy. This one here, yall. She's a doozy. Well more specially - my original podcast cohost. But even before that, she was an editor for a GIANT platform called lovewhatmatter.com. 

She reached out to me to write an article that went freaking viral. And then forward, we've annoyed each other ever since! I love Beck. She is the model of resiliency. But what really shines is our ability to be the best damn mom on this planet. Her son is 13 now and they live their BEST LIVES let me tell you. Living with Lupus and ongoing health issues, Becky is an exemplary mom, cat lover, and human. I am so grateful the universe catapulted our paths to align.   

I asked Becky to write another article in addition to being a guest this week on the show. And she done blew my damn mind. She came out the damn closet!!!! AND I was the first person she came out to! Unbeknownst to me! 

Love you, Beck. And to all the other mama's- including my 3 moms.... Happy Mother's Day and I love you!!

To read Becky's new article check it out here:                                      https://nolapapa.com/beckys-big-apple-mothers-day/
