Musical Reparations (w/Big Freedia & Hannah Mayree) [RE-RELEASE]

This episode was originally released on March 26, 2024.
Let's get straight to it, Classmates! Today on ART CLASS, we are honored to be talking with a bonafide legend! Whom you ask? How about the ambassador for New Orleans bounce music, who's also an iconic entrepreneur, and a fierce advocate for racial justice and queer rights? Yes, that's right, on this episode we will be chatting with the Queen Diva herself, BIG FREEDIA (0:13:55)!!! 🤯 And as if that weren't exciting enough, we're also bringing you the next installment of our Kinfolk series with Hannah Mayree of the Black Banjo Reclamation Project (0:42:28). In this first conversation of two, Hannah and Paige talk all about BBRP and their mission to reconnect Black people with the banjo, an incredibly important part of our musical and cultural history. All that, plus the Morning Announcements with Emile (0:39:11) and a special PB&J for all you soap opera fans (0:59:14). Take your seats, y'all, because class is in session!
