“You speak life—I try to speak life every time I open my mouth,” says One Single Love Rose, and from there this episode blooms into a living archive of Legacy Black Detroit: four generations from Black Bottom to the East Side, Creole kitchens to jazz guitars, a mother born a “call bearer” whose veil marked prophetic gifts, and a daughter who learned in second grade that “words have power—to hurt or heal.” Rose traces family roots from Shreveport red clay to McClellan Street porches, then walks us into Detroit's spoken-word renaissance, where she evolved from page to stage—touring Europe, mentoring “great-mentees,” and crafting sets that move “from the bedroom to the boardroom.” She breaks down playful, sensual erotics done “with love,” the discipline of listening for spirit at 3 a.m., and why young writers must “write for everybody so you can go everywhere.” It's an irresistible, funny, soulful ride that ties Black Bottom's vanished jazz bars to the future of Detroit's cultural power—proof that when Detroit women speak life, the city's ancestors answer back, and tomorrow's artists find their cue.

Dr. Nupsie-flore Exantus moved from Haiti to the United States when she was in 6th grade at the age of 11. It was a cold Christmas Day when she arrived to join her two older sisters who were here prior to her arrival. The only English she knew was how to say was “Good Morning.” She was quickly enrolled into a new arrivals program at school and had many immigrant friends. She purposely immersed herself in learning English trying hard not to fall into speaking Creole thinking it would set her off track. She was connected to another Haitian student who was helpful and then met her mentor, Ms. Vialla, who she is still in contact with and impacted by to this day. She speaks openly and honestly about trying to find her way in a new place, often feeling lost. Dr. Exantus is a UCONN alum but didn't stay with her original plan of study to be an engineer. She felt it would be a difficult road as a black female and although her brother is an engineer and her 4 sisters are all nurses, she chose her own path focusing on social work. Now, as a doctor of Social Work, she is the Director of Middle School Programs at REACH Prep, a transformative educational program for high-achieving, yet underserved, children of color from 5th grade through college. She works diligently to transform their learning experience while providing essential support to the entire family. Additionally, she is the proud founder of Heart & Purpose, a nonprofit program that promotes education and economic empowerment for students from marginalized communities. Their focus is on young girls in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, as well as young females of color in lower Fairfield County and Westchester County, New York. Listening to her story while thinking about how her impact is affecting a new generation of young black females is nothing short of eye opening and breathtaking.

Haití tiene dos idiomas oficiales. El francés, el idioma en el que todavía hoy se da la mayor parte de la educación formal, y el creole, la lengua que la gran mayoría habla en su día a día. Pero cuando Sandrine Exil se mudó de Colombia a Haití, el país natal de su papá, él le impuso una regla estricta: nada de hablar creole. Años más tarde, después de abandonar el país por una crisis política, esa prohibición llegó al centro de la vida de Sandrine y fue el inicio de un camino de vuelta a sus raíces.

Haiti has two official languages: French, the language in which most formal education is still taught today, and Creole, the language the vast majority of Haitians speak in their daily lives. But when Sandrine Exil moved from Colombia to Haiti, her father’s home country, he imposed a strict rule: no speaking Creole. Years later, after leaving the country because of a political crisis, that prohibition became central to Sandrine’s life and marked the beginning of a journey back to her roots.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Thousands of Cabo Verdeans Americans have made their home in Greater Boston bringing with them the indigenous language of their ancestral homeland. Now through the efforts of a local retired teacher and writer, Cabo Verdean Creole has been captured in a dictionary – the formalization of a language that has been passed down primarily orally. In honor of the dictionary's official publishing, we're looking back on the conversation we had in January 2024 about the making of this dictionary and why it's so important to Cabo Verdeans in the United States and abroad.
In this episode, Erica Moiah James talks with Roshini Kempadoo, media artist, photographer, and scholar, whose book Creole in the Archive: Imagery, Presence, and the Location of the Caribbean Figure, has been critical to Erica's work in theorizing the Caribbean archive. Roshini discusses working in the archives at the University of the West Indies, and the particularity of archives in Trinidad and Guyana. They also discuss a common theoretical model in African diaspora scholarship, critical fabulation, which originally indicated the ethical demand for scholars working within archives marked by colonial violence and absence to use tools of fiction and imagination to return embodied existence to individuals, reduced to numbers. Yet this tool of critical fabulation has taken on a life of its own. Erica and Roshini discuss the complications of working in colonial archives and think about the possibilities of limits of presence and absence within these archives.

Bruce Sunpie Barnes is a bandleader who plays accordion and harmonica for Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots. The band travels around the world playing what he calls Afro-Louisiana music: a fusion of zydeco, blues, Creole funk, gospel and tunes from Africa and the Caribbean.But Sunpie also has a parallel career as a naturalist. He spent 32 years working for the National Park Service, much of it in Barataria Preserve, a vast expanse of wetlands, bottomland hardwood forests, and palmetto groves. The Preserve, part of Jean Lafitte National Park, has 200 bird species and is 85 percent water.As a young man, Sunpie kept one foot in each world. By day, he surveyed plants and animals and led hikes and canoe trips. At night, he frequented the numerous New Orleans bars that offered live music. He befriended some of the greats, including rock-and-roll pioneer Fats Domino, who would sometimes call him late at night and invite him to hang out at the hardware store in nearby Chalmette.“He would go through the hardware store, not buy a single thing, just take two hours and walk through it,” Sunpie recalls. “But before he went, he would put on a gigantic pot of red beans and rice or something like that. And it would cook for three or four hours. And he'd come back, play piano, drink a few beers, and just hang out all day.” Sunpie used his sick days for what he calls “those Fats Domino moments.”Later Sunpie became a ranger at New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, which is based in the French Quarter and offers musical and educational programming.In both arenas, Sunpie is a conservationist. “I don't have a separation in me as a person between trying to sustain coastal wetlands, trying to sustain fisheries, trying to sustain culture,” he says. “I might be on a few too many boards right now, but I'm on them because it's around the passion of preservation, around the natural world and around cultural things.”For example, he is Big Chief of the Northside Skull and Bone Gang, a New Orleans tradition that dates back to 1819. Early on Mardi Gras morning, the skeleton gang travels door-to-door in the historically Black Tremé neighborhood, waking residents with calls of “You next!” They bring a reminder of mortality and a message denouncing violence and drugs.“It came out of enslaved African males trying to say on Carnival Day, Mardi Gras Day, that I'm actually a human,” he says. “And I'm going to self-validate and show you who I am.”Thanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

I am so excited to say that my guest, returning for his second interview on the GWA Podcast, is the esteemed American writer, critic, and curator, Hilton Als… A staff writer at The New Yorker for over 30 years, and a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2017 and a Guggenheim Fellowship for creative writing, Als is the author of numerous books. He is a teaching professor at Berkeley, Last time Als came on the podcast, we discussed two significant artists for him, the photographer, Diane Arbus; and the painter of people, Alice Neel – the latter of whom he has curated exhibitions of, exploring her life in uptown Manhattan, and her various friendships with artists, writers, dancers, neighbours and social activists. 119 But today I meet Hilton on the occasion of a new exhibition he has curated: Postures: Jean Rhys in the Modern World at Michael Werner Gallery in London, which explores the extraordinary and complex life of Creole-British writer, Jean Rhys, born in Dominica in 1890 to plantation owners, who grew up a white person, or Creole, in a largely Black society, and moved to Britain aged 16 and lived most of her life in Europe until her death in 1979. She was known for telling stories of women in exile, often at the whim of powerful men, and celebrated for her last and best-selling novel, Wide Sargasso Sea, published 1966, that told the life story of the so-called mad woman in the attic, Antoinette Cosway, from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, from Cosway's perspective. And what a beautiful, complex, show this is. Featuring Hurvin Anderson, Celia Paul, Gwen John, Sarah Lucas, Kara Walker, and more, it is a rich portrait of a complex figure who lived between worlds, cultures, reality and fiction. And I can't wait to find out more. Postures: Jean Rhys in the Modern World is at Michael Werner Gallery, London, until 22 November.

644. Part 1 of our interview with David T. Ballantyne about his book, Fractured Freedoms: Reconstruction in Central Louisiana. "Fractured Freedoms is a riveting history of central Louisiana from the 1860s to the 1890s, focusing on majority-Black Rapides Parish during Reconstruction. Using the region as a case study, Ballantyne reveals what is, in part, a rural Reconstruction success story, emphasizing the resilience of Black politics and the persistence of significant divisions among white residents that allowed the Republican Party to gain and maintain power there. It was only with the collapse of state-level Republican power in 1877 that Democratic forces in the parish were able to dismantle local Republican political control and gradually constrict Black freedoms."

Faulkner was one of the South's greatest writers. He wrote this novel about the artists he had met in the French Quarter. He put them on a yacht that took them through Lake Pontchartrain until they ran aground and were stranded for several days. That's right, Faulkner basically created Gilligan's Isle. "The violet dusk held in soft suspension lights slow as bellstrokes, Jackson square was now a green and quiet lake in which abode lights round as jellyfish, feathering with silver mimosa and pomegranate and hibiscus beneath which lantana and cannas bled and bled. Pontalba and cathedral were cut from black paper and pasted flat on a green sky; above them taller palms were fixed in black and soundless explosions. The street was empty, but from Royal street there came the hum of a trolley that rose to a staggering clatter, passed on and away leaving an interval filled with the gracious sound of inflated rubber on asphalt, like a tearing of endless silk. Clasping his accursed bottle, feeling like a criminal, Mr. Talliaferro hurried on. "He walked swiftly beside a dark wall, passing small indiscriminate shops dimly lighted with gas and smelling of food of all kinds, fulsome, slightly overripe. The proprietors and their families sat before the doors in tilted chairs, women nursing babies into slumber spoke in soft south European syllables one to another. Children scurried before him and about him, ignoring him or becoming aware of him and crouching in shadow like animals, defensive, passive and motionless." This week in Louisiana history.

Discover Lafayette welcomes Marcelle Bienvenu, cookbook author and food writer who has been preparing Cajun and Creole dishes since the 1960s. A St. Martinville native, she still lives there with her husband, Rock Lasserre. Marcelle has written about Creole and Cajun cooking for The Times-Picayune, Time-Life Books, and has been featured in Garden & Gun, Food & Wine, Saveur, Southern Living, Redbook, The New York Times, Louisiana Life, and Acadiana Profile. She authored Who's Your Mama? Are You Catholic and Can You Make a Roux?, as well as Who's Your Mama? The Sequel, and Cajun Cooking for Beginners. She co-edited Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, which was nominated for a James Beard Award in 2009. Marcelle worked with Emeril Lagasse for 15 years and coauthored several cookbooks with him, including Louisiana Real & Rustic, Emeril's Creole Christmas, Emeril's TV Dinners, and Every Day's a Party. She also owned and operated the beloved restaurant Chez Marcelle in Broussard, at the former Billeaud Family Plantation site. She has worked at legendary restaurants including Commander's Palace and K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen in New Orleans, and taught for 11 years at the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University. Growing Up in St. Martinville “When I was a youngster, it was idyllic. You could ride your bike anywhere. Nobody cared where you were going. We could go around the block and ask all the ladies, ‘What do you have for supper tonight?' If I liked hers better than mine, I could stay with her. Everybody on our block was related.” Her father's family owned The Teche News, and she grew up folding papers and helping with printing: “Besides the newspaper, Daddy did wedding invitations, football programs. I used to hate it because my hands were always full of ink… Mama would fix the sandwiches at the newspaper office because we never went home on paper day until late. The ink was all over your bread.” She credits her early love of cooking to meals at family camps on Vermilion Bay: "My father was a Boy Scout leader, and we had a camp at Granddad's on Vermilion Bay, at Sycamore Point, and we had one in the Basin. A lot of our meals were cooked on an open fire wood bar. And I thought that was absolutely fabulous. So I would sit at my daddy's elbow with his beer. I was beer holder. I would say, shouldn't you go medium low? You don't have a dial, you'd have to move it. I became infatuated with that. I thought that was just marvelous. “We were laughing the other day about when we were little, nobody said, oh, we're going to have Cajun food. Are we going to New Orleans? Can we have Creole food? We never would. Nobody ever said that." An interesting side note: Marcelle is the aunt of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. His mother and Marcelle's sister, Edna Bienvenu Landry, died in 2019. Our governor also unfortunately recently lost his father, architect and business owner, Al James Landry, on July 30, 2025. The Start of a Culinary Career In 1971, while working at The Times-Picayune, Marcelle met the Time-Life Books crew. “They were thinking of doing a book on Acadian Creole cooking… We were supposed to be only a chapter in the Southern book, but we ended up with a whole book.” Working with the Brennans and legendary chef Paul Prudhomme shaped her approach: “He really brought Cajun cooking up to another level… It was absolutely wonderful to see them marrying those two cuisines to see what they came up with." Before Prudhomme joined Commander's Palace, no one in New Orleans was serving chicken and andouille sausage gumbo. Chez Marcelle Marcelle's uncle offered to finance a restaurant in Broussard, and they transformed the old Billeaud Plantation home: “We did fabulously for almost four years and then the whole business… the oil industry crashed. It happened so fast my CPA called to ask if we had closed.
Bridget Everett’s last meal takes us to New Orleans’ second oldest restaurant, where Creole and Italian cooking collide into a cuisine called (you guessed it) Italian Creole! The owner of Pascal’s Manale, Dickie Brennan, joins the show to talk about the special menu and the restaurant’s long history. Bridget performed her delightfully raunchy cabaret act for years before landing the lead role on HBO Max’s Somebody Somewhere (and she still performs it!), but she made a living working in restaurants. We talk about the highs and lows of her 30-year restaurant career, and when she was able to quit. And she tells host Rachel Belle how she learned to cook on national television. Both Bridget and her character on Somebody Somewhere love ordering “French toast for the table” at The Chef, a diner in Manhattan, Kansas. Is French toast actually French? We learn its origin story from Max Miller, host of Tasting History. Watch Rachel’s Cascade PBS TV show The Nosh with Rachel Belle - Season 2 out now!

Tiyi lives in North Michigan where she is the Mayor of her town! She has Irish, Creole and Nordic ancestry and can trace her lineage back to Haiti in 1702. Her family's story is fascinating. Tiyi starts off by telling us about her Great-Grandmother who met a leprechaun in Cork, Ireland and shows us the resulting enchanted shillelagh that has been passed down her family. We hear also about her grandfather's Hoodoo practices and the wisdom he passed down to her. Being a sensitive soul and clearly bearing the generations of practice of sensitive and honourable spiritual contact, Tiyi recalls hearing ghosts and voices as a child. On occasion she would encounter what she describes as 'The Slinky Lady' and one of her stories details flying out-of-body experience where she felt herself as part of the landscape. Tiyi works with forest spirits and shares a life-changing experience in a woodland which took place at a very difficult time in her life. During this wondrous encounter, she received a blessing from the forest. On another occasion she perceived 'The Gate Keeper' in the forest, from which she produced the painting that is shared in the episode. We hear about the 'talking tree' that her grandchildren reported, and we end with a series of mind bogging photos that could potentially indicate a Sasquatch encounter! It was a great honour to speak with Tiyi and I'm very grateful for all she shared about her life and experiences, so rich with meaning. Here is the beautiful blessing that she provided: "Spirit of this sacred place, Grant your blessing, grant your grace, Keep me safe in night and day, Hold me ever in your sway, Spirit of Water earth and Green Grant me sight for things unseen" Contact Tiyi via her website and be sure to subscribe to her YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/@spookymstiyi?si=eer9ZYefAiicPRb6 https://spookymstiyi.com/https://youtube.com/@spookymstiyi?si=eer9ZYefAiicPRb6 https://spookymstiyi.com/ ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY GROUP ⭐️ / membership If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like minded folks, access to the Discord channels and joining events with other members, join us at: / membership S U P P O R T If you'd prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee' and I'd be very grateful
In the shadows of New Orleans folklore lurks the Grunch—a bloodthirsty cryptid said to stalk the swampy outskirts and forgotten roads. This episode dives deep into the legend's origins, its eerie ties to Creole culture, and the unsettling encounters that still haunt locals. Vampires may rule the French Quarter, but something older—and hungrier—waits just beyond the tree line.

Send us a textSome are fortunate enough to discover their passion when they are young — Caron Woolsey is one of them. A native Texan, growing up Caron spent the summers visiting her grandparents in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is where her love of interior design, historic homes, and her appreciation for Creole and French Colonial architecture was born. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Texas Tech, Caron embarked on a career in oil and gas, which spanned 16 years. While she loved her career, she often felt it wasn't her true calling. After the birth of her second child and a relocation back to her hometown of Fort Worth for her husband's job, Caron took on an ultra personal creative endeavor: the design of her new home. A new construction home, she delighted in working alongside her builder from the ground-up to bring her dream home to life. During the process, Caron caught the attention of other local homebuilders, and once her home was complete, with homeowners. She began consulting on interior design projects until it became clear that was no longer a creative hobby. In 2017, after relocating to The Woodlands with her family, she officially founded CW Interiors. Since opening the doors to her studio, she's grown her team to six and has had the privilege of partnering with developers, homebuilders, and homeowners to create storytelling homes in The Woodlands, Houston, and Conroe metropolitan areas.In just one focused hour, we'll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business.

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.

This month, as Louisiana Eats marks our 15th anniversary, we're relishing the opportunity to bring you some favorite moments from our archives. We begin with our 2011 interview with the late civil rights activist, Dr. Rudy Lombard. He talks about his role in the 1960 McCrory's lunch counter sit-in and what motivated him to write his seminal 1978 book, "Creole Feast." Then, we revisit our 2011 tribute to one of the chefs featured in that tome: Clarence "Buster" Holmes. British jazz drummer Barry Martyn and Chef Susan Spicer both share memories of their friend and mentor. Next, we hear again from the late Michael Mizell-Nelson, who spent his career studying the experience of working-class New Orleans. We bring you the second half of our streetcar ride with Michael in 2010, as he shares the history of public transportation during the era of Jim Crow. To end our show, we spotlight our 2011 conversation with local icon Mildred Covert, who taught the world how to cook Creole and Cajun while keeping kosher.

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.
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. Nicknamed “The Big Easy”, New Orleans conjures up images of Mardi Gras parades with their colourful purple, green, and gold bead necklaces, and bands walking the streets playing to roaring crowds… But the joyful, celebratory side of New Orleans has an equally dark, sombre, and much more frightening side…This is Haunted UK Abroad, and today we visit the Southern state of Louisianna in the U.S. and, specifically, the – by all accounts very haunted – city of New Orleans.Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?

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.
