You are not just buying a costume; you are investing in an experience, a legacy, and a vibrant cultural immersion. When you choose Party Room Squad at Miami Carnival, you are stepping onto the road not merely as a participant, but as a vital thread in a 31-year tradition that beautifully weaves together the past, present, and future of Caribbean culture. This isn't just about the spectacle of the parade; it's about connecting with the very heart of Caribbean Carnival: A Legacy of Freedom, Art, and Celebration. Imagine the journey: * From Resistance to Revelry: Recall the profound history—how this celebration, originating from European Carnevale, was powerfully transformed by enslaved Africans after emancipation. Forbidden from their enslavers' masquerade balls, they defiantly forged their own vibrant expressions of liberation. This act of creation, blending African traditions, indigenous practices, and Creole culture, gave birth to the joyous resistance we celebrate today. When you join us, you're not just dancing; you're echoing the drums of freedom and the spirit of resilience that defined generations. * Unleashing Your Inner Sparkle: Our section is your personal invitation to embrace your most radiant self. Every meticulously designed costume is a canvas for your inner brilliance, allowing you to unleash your unique sparkle as you move through the streets. This isn't just about the glitter and feathers; it's about the confidence and joy that radiates from within when you are authentically part of something grand. * Connecting with Infectious Energy: The road with Party Room Squad is an electric current of infectious energy. Feel the pulsating bass of Soca music vibrate through your body, the collective rhythm of thousands of feet dancing in unison, and the roar of joyous cheers. This unadulterated energy is a communal force, a shared euphoria that transcends individual moments and creates an unforgettable collective memory. * Immersing in Unadulterated Caribbean Revelry: This is the essence of Carnival—a pure, unrestrained outpouring of joy. Forget your inhibitions and worries; surrender to the spirit of fête. With Party Room Squad, you are fully immersed in an authentic Caribbean experience, surrounded by a community that lives and breathes the culture. It's an opportunity to dance until your feet ache, sing until your voice is hoarse, and revel in the profound sense of belonging that only Carnival can offer.

Dook Chase describes his childhood growing up inside the iconic Dooky Chase's Restaurant, where the back of house was his playground and the kitchen was always buzzing with energy. He discusses how his early work bussing tables and washing pots led him to fall in love with cooking under the watchful eye of his grandmother, Leah Chase. The chef shares how Hurricane Katrina reignited his passion for the family business, inspiring him to leave his finance career and help rebuild the restaurant as a symbol of hope for the New Orleans community. Dook explains how culinary school in Paris gave him the technical foundation and confidence to complement his family's traditions, helping him both preserve and innovate Creole dishes. He reflects on the meaning behind opening Chapter IV, a restaurant honoring the fourth generation of his family, where he experiments with modern twists on Southern classics. Dook celebrates the deep influence of the strong women in his life, including his wife Gretchen, and shares his excitement for Family Recipe Showdown, a new show that celebrates culinary heritage and cultural connection. He highlights the storytelling at the heart of the series, where families bond over beloved dishes and cook under pressure for host Octavia Spencer and her lineup of celebrity guests.

On the eve of July 4th, co-authors Jennifer Richmond and Winkfield Twyman joined Equiano Project Head of Content Ada Akpala for an insightful conversation about blackness and race identity with noted podcaster Danielle Romero.  A native of Troy, New York, Danielle discovered one day that her putative French and Irish maternal great grandmother Lola Perot had spent all her married life passing for white in New York. In fact, Lola was born Creole (colored) in Louisiana. In a fascinating roundtable, we explore where does Romero land in our country's obsession with racial identity? What does it mean when a European American discovers the story of one's family was a racial lie? Is it possible that Romero's origin story can bring us closer to connection in our universal humanity? Is the true impact of Danielle's story not her ancestor who passed for white, but that Danielle's mixed ancestry is a lens into our racial future as Americans?  In a sense, Danielle is the tip of a spear. More and more Americans will discover they are of multiple ancestry groups over time. Come join us for an hour with a national leader in the hunt for identity sans race.    Podcast NotesDanielle Romero's Podcast, NYTNThe Equiano Project https://www.theequianoproject.com/My great grandmother hid who she was. 20 years later I understand why | Opinion, The Tennessean, Danielle RomeroRace Is Beginning to Bore Me, Winkfield Twyman, Jr. The Legacies of Black Pioneers: The Problem with Black Excellence with Ada Akpala, The Dissidents PodcastAre Light-Skinned People the White People of the Black Community? Winkfield Twyman, Jr.The Souls of Black Folk, Winkfield Twyman, Jr.This is Your Brain on AI: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Dissidents Podcast

For over 50 years, the Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering has attracted old-time music fans to Battle Ground, Indiana, for a weekend of concerts, workshops and jam sessions. This week on Cultural Manifesto, listen to interviews with musicians and organizers connected to the festival, including Dave Samuelson, Cliff Harrison, and fiddle player Stephanie Coleman.  Coleman began performing at the Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering as a child. Along with her musical partner Nora Brown, she's one of the headliners at this year's festival. You might have seen their recent performance for NPR's Tiny Desk.  The Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering began in 1972. Back then, it wasn't a festival, just a loose circle of musicians and friends gathering under the trees at the Tippecanoe Battlefield, to share their love of old-time fiddle music. What began as a casual gathering of local fiddlers has grown into a nationally respected festival featuring a wide range of American roots music and international fiddle styles, including bluegrass, jazz, Creole, Irish, Mexican, and Scandinavian fiddlers.  Over the years, the Indiana Fiddlers Gathering has hosted celebrated names in traditional music, including Mike Seeger, John Hartford, Johnny Gimble, Jethro Burns and many others. It also gave early exposure to future stars like Alison Krauss and Chris Thile, who performed at the festival as teenagers.

When you think back on your most memorable meal, what comes to mind? The company you kept? The exceptional wine list? An entre made up of the freshest Louisiana ingredients? Chef Barrett Meeks and Abney Harper are two Baton Rouge restaurateurs making memorable meals for locals with successful establishments located just doors apart from each other on Corporate Boulevard in Baton Rouge. Executive Chef Barret Meeks of Mansurs On The Boulevard developed his passion for cooking when he was just 8 years old. He’d been invited into John Folse’s kitchen at Lafitte’s Landing Restaurant to see how a dessert was plated. Later, after graduating from LSU and the Louisiana Culinary Institute, he opened a food truck called The Bengalier. In 2015, Chef Meeks joined the kitchen staff at Mansurs on the Boulevard, working his way up the ranks to become Executive Chef in 2021. Abney Harper met her husband and business partner while a student at Tulane University Law School. Years later, after practicing law for over a decade, she left her practice to join the restaurant industry. Today Abney is the co-owner of two businesses: Prima Apres, a fast casual pasta and pavlova restaurant, and Sucre Baton Rouge, and Sucre Covington, desert restaurants famous for their macarons and gelato. Whether we're eating Italian cuisine, Creole specialties, or mom's favorite recipes, in Louisiana we love gathering around a table with family and friends for an exceptional meal. Those meals are often inspired by cCreole history and traditions and typically end with a sumptuous bread pudding or bananas foster. But other equally memorable meals end with bite-sized surprises like a French-inspired macaron or exotic pavlova, a meringue named after a Russian ballerina. In Baton Rouge we're thankful for these specialty culinary experiences that are made possible by Abney Harper and Barret Meeks. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

Located on the banks of the Mississippi river, New Orleans is famous for many things such as jazz music, Creole and Cajun cuisine, and a rich cultural heritage that blends African, Native American, Spanish, Caribbean, and French ancestry.

On May 8, 2025, Robert Francis Prevost was introduced as Pope Leo XIV, the new head of the Catholic Church. Prevost is the first American to be elected as Pope and while that would be enough for American Catholics to celebrate, New Orleanians took the celebration a step farther when local Certified Genealogist and historian with the Historic New Orleans Collection Jari Honora discovered a familial connection between Pope Leo and New Orleans. In this week's podcast we talk to Honora about the popes connection to the city, what exactly it means to be Creole and Kelly even shares a little of her Creole family background.

Jesús Canchola Sánchez personal journey—returning to his faith after years of pursuing the wrong path—powerfully mirrors the transformation of Escape From Natura Meta's main character, Gabriel. What You Will Learn in this Podcast and the BookHow faith can reawaken in the most unexpected places and seasons of lifeThe dangers of conformity, erasure of individuality, and the loss of faith in modern cultureThe value of perseverance through suffering and the true meaning of freedomHow personal identity should not be tied not to culture or community but to divine purposeWhy storytelling matters in keeping faith, hope, and truth alive in societyA deeper appreciation for the struggle between worldly "progress" and timeless spiritual truths Jesus' Canchola Sanchez Jesús Canchola Sánchez had his first short story published at the age of 7 in his Chicago elementary school newspaper. He's the author of the children's book Pepito Has a Doll (2021). He received the Hispanic Playwrights in Residence award by INTAR Theater and won the Pregones Theater Asunción Playwrights Competition. Escape From Natura Meta, his first novel, will be published in 2025. Canchola Sánchez was a producer on the morning talk show Las Comadres con Gloria B (2008-2010) that aired on Telemundo 47 in the tri-state area. As an actor, he appeared on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien "Conando" sketches and danced on Bhangra Dance Workout of Massala Productions. He was on stage at the Public Theater in 365 days/365 plays, Pregones Theater, FringeNYC and played Demetrius in A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Stuart Vaughan at the Lucille Lortel Theater.ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK Jesús is stepping boldly into the world of dystopian fiction with his debut novel, Escape From Natura Meta, a riveting story of faith, identity, and freedom. In a future ruled by The Council, where faith is outlawed in favor of the "benefit of all," Gabriel is born into the oppressive society of Natura Meta and slated for forced gender transition. Visited in dreams by his ancestor Beatriz, Gabriel awakens to faith and escapes into a dangerous, unknown world. In Louisiana, the Creole tribe teaches him the old ways, and across his journey—through love in the desert among the Jews, slavery under Texas cowboys, and ultimately discovery in Mexico—Gabriel grows from a weak boy into a strong man of faith. As he builds a hidden Christian community in a godless world, Natura Meta puts a bounty on his head. Gabriel must return home to ignite a war for true freedom, risking everything to break the chains of tyranny.WebsiteAmazon Books

On today's episode, we journey to the Indian Ocean archipelago of Seychelles: not  for the beaches this time, but for the stories that lie beyond them.The Seychelles Heritage Awards have returned with a renewed purpose: to recognise the quiet custodians of Creole culture: the storytellers, musicians, farmers, and knowledge-keepers who've dedicated decades to preserving the island's soul.In this episode, you'll hear from two remarkable cultural champions: Camille Azemia, a traditional music icon whose passion spans generations, and Jenita Laport, a fierce advocate for Creole heritage who says she's “retired, but not tired.”We'll also speak with the Executive Director of the Seychelles National Heritage Resource Council, Rose Benjamin   who shares the vision behind the awards and the deep community roots they celebrate.These are not just honours; they are acts of cultural survival.

With a unique history reaching back centuries, Louisiana is a state that lends itself to storytelling. On this week's show, we're joined by two historians to get the true stories behind some common myths and misconceptions. And sandwiched between them, we speak with two authors of historical fiction whose books make our state's past come alive. We begin with journalist and food historian Lolis Eric Elie, who talks about the true origins of New Orleans' Creole food, and the often-overlooked African contributions. Next, we speak with Elisa Speranza, author of "The Italian Prisoner." Elisa was inspired to write her debut novel after hearing stories of Italian POWs housed in New Orleans during World War II. After Italy switched sides in 1943, these former enemies became part of the American war effort and the city's makeup. Then, legendary Louisiana storyteller Glen Pitre joins us. He reveals the role that food plays in his historical novel, "Advice for the Wicked,” which takes place in Southern Louisiana at the turn of the 20th century. Finally, we hear the surprising true story behind New Orleans' classic confection, the praline, from culinary historian Rien Fertel.

With a unique history reaching back centuries, Louisiana is a state that lends itself to storytelling. On this week's show, we're joined by two historians to get the true stories behind some common myths and misconceptions. And sandwiched between them, we speak with two authors of historical fiction whose books make our state's past come alive. We begin with journalist and food historian Lolis Eric Elie, who talks about the true origins of New Orleans' Creole food, and the often-overlooked African contributions. Next, we speak with Elisa Speranza, author of "The Italian Prisoner." Elisa was inspired to write her debut novel after hearing stories of Italian POWs housed in New Orleans during World War II. After Italy switched sides in 1943, these former enemies became part of the American war effort and the city's makeup. Then, legendary Louisiana storyteller Glen Pitre joins us. He reveals the role that food plays in his historical novel, "Advice for the Wicked,” which takes place in Southern Louisiana at the turn of the 20th century. Finally, we hear the surprising true story behind New Orleans' classic confection, the praline, from culinary historian Rien Fertel.

In the latest episode of Unlocking Academia, Tarin Ahmed, the host, is joined by guest, William Jennings, a senior lecturer in French at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, and author of Dibia's World.: Life on an Early Sugar Plantation (Liverpool UP, 2023). William discusses the importance of names, voice and the community life of a hundred slaves on an early sugar plantation. Dibia's World follows the story of Dibia, an educated man in Africa, stolen across the sea and sold into slavery. He spent the rest of his life on a sugar plantation, where he worked with Agoüya, drank Aboré's rum, married Izabelle and had a son named Paul. This book tells the story of the community he lived in with a hundred others in a colonial outpost of the Caribbean. It depicts the everyday life of enslaved Africans and Native Americans in remarkable detail, showing their names, relationships, skills, health and interactions, as they contended with and resisted their enslavement. Most studies of plantation life examine well-established colonies in the century before abolition.  This work provides a counterpoint by depicting the founding population of an African-American community in the early years of the industrial sugar plantation complex. Drawing on a planter's manuscript, shipping records, missionary accounts and seventeenth-century scraps of paper, Dibia's World will appeal to specialists as well as general readers interested in the early Atlantic world, Creole societies, slavery and African-American history.

(01:12) Julie - What is your take on Pope Leo saying we have to know how to listen and not shut doors? I thought Catholic faith had all the truth. (05:45) Maria - I don't understand what 'Son of Man' means? (16:46) Mary (email) - My friend went to an Anglican service while on holiday thinking it was Catholic. Did that count as her Sunday Obligation? (18:31) Justin - Why do Popes take on a new name and what is the meaning for that?

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is a federal agency that funds programs in libraries nationwide. In March, President Trump signed an executive order to slash the agency's funding. And California's Braille and Talking Book Library, which serves the state's blind and print-disabled community, could be hit by these cuts. Reporter: Jasmine Ascencio, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Over the weekend, Catholic churchgoers attended the first Sunday mass since the election of the first pope with Creole ancestry.

Today:Olga Cherevko of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, zooms into the show from Gaza City to discuss the humanitarian crisis there.Reverends Irene Monroe and Emmett G Price discuss the new Pope's Creole heritage.

Last week, Robert Francis Prevost was elected as the new pope. Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV, is the first American pope in the Vatican's history. Although he was born and raised in Chicago, a local genealogist and historian quickly traced his family's lineage to New Orleans. Jari Honora, family historian at the Historic New Orleans Collection, tells us more about what he discovered about the pope's familial ties to the Crescent City.Venture Global, the U.S.'s second largest producer of liquified natural gas, plans to build a second terminal in south Louisiana, this time in the sparsely populated Cameron Parish. The proposed terminal was recently granted a permit by the Department of Energy, its fifth LNG-related approval since President Trump took office. Verite News' Tristan Baurick tells us how residents are responding to the news.Scott Cowen has worn many hats. College football player, infantry officer, professor and president of Tulane University when Hurricane Katrina hit. He became a prominent voice for restoring the city's infrastructure, reforming the public school system and enhancing Tulane's athletic programs.More  recently, he's authored several books, including  “Lead and Succeed,” a leadership guide for recent graduates and early career professionals.  Cowen joins us to discuss his varied career and share his leadership advice for young people.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Dr. Hermene Hartman, Chicago media pioneer and founder of N'Digo, joins Lisa Dent to discuss Pope Leo XIV. Dr. Hartman calls him a true ‘South-sider’ and discusses the Pope’s Creole background.

Great products start with an idea, and a lot of tinkering. Edison and his lightbulb. Jobs and Wozniak in their garage. The image is familiar—a lone inventor, obsessing over details, experimenting, failing, learning, and eventually discovering something great. South Louisiana has a pretty rich tradition of entrepreneurship and invention. Consider the crawfish boat, for instance. And, when you think about it, Cajun and Creole food in general can be likened to hare-brained contraptions. We’re constantly tinkering with ways to improve recipes to make them more efficient, cheaper or more flavorful — all without losing their essence. Gumbo There’s nothing more essential in Cajun cooking than the trinity — onion, bell pepper and celery, known around here as the Trinity, and depending on your bent toward Catholicism or sacrelige, even "The Holy Trinity." Dreux Barrah is Founder and Chief Chopping Officer at C’est Tout Dried Trinity Mix. Dreux’s path to business began in his home garden with an overabundance of bell peppers. He came up with drying vegetables as a way to preserve his surplus and created a dehydrated holy trinity. Through experimentation, Dreux perfected his process, even crafting custom equipment like his flour-toasting "Rouxster." Now, C’est Tout sells not just dehydrated vegetable mixes but also fully dried dish starters for classics like gumbo, jambalaya, and etouffee. Whiskey One thing Cajuns aren’t famous for is whiskey — apart from drinking it, we don’t really make it. That is, until Philip Mestayer came along. Philip is Co-Owner and Head Distiller at Distillerie Acadian, a small-batch distillery based in New Iberia. Philip started as a weekend hobbyist, distilling whiskey with his dad and brother. Their goal was ambitious—create Louisiana’s first bourbon, a spirit more associated with Kentucky Bluegrass than Cajun prairies. What began as a passion evolved into a business, but not without a whole lot of elbow grease. Philip designed and welded much of their initial distilling equipment himself, navigating complicated federal regulations, supply chain issues, and tricky logistics. Today, Distillerie Acadian offers seven unique spirits, from bourbon to handcrafted gin. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

Sign up for our newsletter: https://renew.org/resources/newsletter-sign-up/  Today's episode will help us rethink how we approach ministry by trading a factory mindset for a more organic, relational, and patient way of cultivating spiritual growth. Understanding Spiritual Warfare and Discipleship with Shodankeh Johnson In this insightful talk, Shodankeh Johnson, an experienced church planter and disciple maker from Sierra Leone, shares his journey and challenges in advancing the Kingdom of God. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing spiritual warfare, using the Word of God, prayer, and love to overcome obstacles and make disciples. Shodankeh recounts personal stories of facing threats, persecution, and miraculous transformations, illustrating the reality of spiritual battles and the power of faith. Join us to learn about the critical aspects of spiritual warfare, the nature of the enemy, and how to stand firm as a disciple maker. https://reallifetheologypodcast.supercast.com/  Key Takeaways  00:00 Introduction and Gratitude 01:36 Personal Background and Ministry 03:50 Understanding Spiritual Warfare 06:19 The Reality of Spiritual Warfare 11:22 Stories of Faith and Transformation 15:30 Critical Insights on Spiritual Warfare 24:38 Divine Weapons and Love in Action 32:26 The Armor of God: Spiritual Warfare Essentials 35:22 Faith and Perseverance in Adversity 37:01 Facing Persecution with Courage 42:05 Understanding Satan's Tactics 54:22 Identifying and Overcoming Strongholds 58:32 The Power of the Word and Prayer 01:01:40 Conclusion and Final Thoughts This episode opens with Shodankeh Johnson thanking the audience and leading a prayer, inviting God's presence and wisdom. He briefly introduces himself, sharing his background in disciple-making and church planting across the globe—especially in Sierra Leone, where he's seen God move in powerful ways, even in dangerous situations. Coming from a Creole father and a Muslim Shabro mother, Shodanke brings a deeply personal and cross-cultural perspective to his mission. The heart of the conversation centers on spiritual warfare. Shodanke stresses that spiritual warfare is real and unavoidable—like gravity, it's in effect whether we acknowledge it or not. He's witnessed the influence of darkness across cultures and emphasizes the need to preach the Word boldly and make disciples who are grounded in truth and equipped for battle. He invites the audience to share what comes to mind when they think of spiritual warfare—responses include prayer, fasting, and confronting evil. From there, he unpacks the spiritual conflict believers face: an invisible but fierce battle between the Kingdom of God and the forces of darkness, aimed at disrupting our relationship with Christ and stopping the spread of the Gospel. Quoting Ephesians 6:12, Shodankeh shares stories of personal threats, persecution, and near-death experiences—yet also moments of miraculous transformation, where former enemies of the faith became devoted followers of Jesus. These testimonies highlight God's power and the impact of responding with love and prayer. He outlines four truths every disciple-maker must grasp about spiritual warfare: You are in a war. The fight is spiritual, not physical. God provides powerful, non-carnal weapons. You must put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13–18). Shodankeh also breaks down Satan's tactics—affliction, accusation, and destruction—designed to weaken believers and distract them from their mission (John 10:10, Revelation 12:10). He describes three types of spiritual strongholds: He concludes by encouraging listeners to tear down these strongholds through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and disciplined prayer and fasting (2 Corinthians 10:5). The battle may be spiritual, but God's power is real and available to all who seek Him.
