Après l'excellent Radyo Siwèl en 2018, Mélissa Laveaux est de retour avec un nouvel et quatrième album studio : Mama Forgot Her Name Was Miracle, un disque spirituel, poétique et hautement émancipatoire. (Rediffusion) ⇒ Facebook de Mélissa Laveaux.À ses débuts en 2008, Mélissa Laveaux se faisait déjà alchimiste de la chanson au fil de son premier album Camphor & Copper (No Format), dévoilant les contours de sa cosmogonie : une guitare offerte par son père à 13 ans, des textes poétiques en anglais et en créole, une voix féline, une folkblues hantée où réside un mystère. Celle qui a fait ses armes de militante dans le milieu punk-fém d'Ottawa poursuivra son chemin de musique en traversant l'Atlantique pour s'installer à Paris où elle vit désormais et donner naissance à Dying Is A Wild Night (No Format, 2013), un deuxième opus largement inspiré par ce voyage initiatique.Le déracinement fait partie intégrante de l'ADN musical de Mélissa Laveaux : avant elle, ses parents ont fui Haïti pour Montréal au Canada quand sa grande idole, la résistante haïtienne Martha Jean-Claude, chantait son île chérie depuis Cuba, où elle s'est réfugiée dans les années 50 alors que sévissait la dynastie Duvalier. Et c'est en partie pour restaurer ce lien perdu avec Haïti, pour guérir l'exil, qu'avec Radyo Siwèl (No Format, 2018), Mélissa Laveaux puisait en ethnomusicologue dans ses traditions musicales pour en exhumer comptines et chants perdus, nous rappelant aussi combien la musique peut être un instrument de résistance politique.Après une tournée triomphale qui s'achevait au Trianon à Paris en octobre 2019, la guitariste, chanteuse et poétesse se dévoile à présent sous un jour plus intime. À 37 ans, Mélissa Laveaux explore aujourd'hui la dimension thérapeutique et spirituelle de la musique en revisitant une forme ancestrale : la berceuse. Car si les rituels et les modèles dont on hérite sont parfois défaillants, dépassés voire rétrogrades, libre à nous d'innover ! Avec Mama Forgot Her Name Was Miracle, Mélissa Laveaux ré-ensauvage donc la berceuse en convoquant de puissantes voix d'outre-temps pour créer une toute nouvelle mythologie. Alternative. Moderne. Subversive. Car changer les légendes, c'est changer le présent. En archiviste des luttes féministes et sociales, en passeuse, Mélissa Laveaux fait donc appel à une communauté d'héroïnes que l'Histoire a oubliées ou volontairement mises à la marge. Autant d'archétypes dont le talent, le culot, l'engagement, la résilience et la grande liberté constituent pour la musicienne une source d'inspiration inépuisable.Ainsi d'un titre à l'autre croise-t-on Harriet Tubman, Jackie Shane, Audre Lorde, Helen Stephens, la déesse Lilith, La Papesse Jeanne, Ching Shih, Alice Walker, James Baldwin, Faith Ringgold, Ana Mendieta ou encore Alexis Pauline Gumbs... Tour à tour guérisseuses et guerrières, les membres de ce chœur-courage se sont affirmées en refusant de se contenter de survivre, de se soumettre à des normes assignées ou de subir un destin qu'elles n'avaient pas choisi. A l'image de Jackie Shane, pionnière transgenre de la soul canadienne dont les chants d'amour révolutionnaires ont ouvert la voie à tant d'autres. A l'image de Ching Shih, travailleuse du sexe chinoise qui préféra devenir la pirate la plus respectée des Mers du Sud au début du XIXe siècle. À l'image encore d'Harriet Tubman, ancienne esclave afro-américaine qui a aidé des centaines d'autres opprimé.e.s à retrouver les routes de la liberté.Trait-d'union immémorial entre les mondes et les cultures, musicothérapie originelle, musique-sorcière par excellence, la berceuse demeure sans doute le premier geste de soin, le chant d'amour le plus pur. Un rituel magique qui chez Mélissa Laveaux regorge d'incantations, de prières et de clés, mystiques ou métaphoriques, pour trouver la force de déconstruire ses peurs, transcender ses traumatismes et renaître guérie – ou au moins aguerrie. Collier d'amulettes électriques porté par une conversation rythmique entre les Caraïbes et l'Afrique de l'Ouest, Mama Forgot Her Name Was Miracle dit alors : «Osons vivre ! Férocement, libres et flamboyant.e.s ! #subjectivation».L'union fait la force, l'adage a déjà fait ses preuves, ainsi Mélissa Laveaux s'entoure donc d'une brigade sûre de sorciers du son. Citons notamment à la réalisation Guillaume Ferran (Griefjoy, Julien Doré, Victor Solf), Fin Greenall aka Fink (Ninja Tunes) ou Mathieu Senechal (Charlotte Cardin). Aux instruments  : Voyou (trompette, clarinette), Clyde Rabatel (claviers, piano), Mathieu Gramoli (batterie), Steve Yameogo (basse, guitare), Sébastien Delage (guitare). Sans oublier quelques invité.e.s de choix qui viennent ajouter un peu de leur magie au tout : November Ultra («Rosewater»), Dope Saint Jude («Half a Wizard, Half a Witch») et Oxmo Puccino («Lilit»).Dans Mama Forgot Her Name Was Miracle, Mélissa Laveaux met sa poésie militante et son groove folk-punk au service d'une pop atypique, mobilisant ces super-pouvoirs que sont le don, la créativité, la joie, la beauté, la métamorphose ou encore l'intuition. Pour nous et pour elle-même, Mélissa Laveaux réactive ainsi, en formidable conteuse des eaux profondes, une force vitale miraculeuse qui contrairement aux apparences n'est jamais totalement anéantie.

Así es como Iris encuentra al león escondido en su casita de muñecas, y luego lo esconde por diferentes lugares de su casa. Hasta que es descubierto y debe esconderse en algún lugar de la ciudad. Pero algo pasa, que hace que la ciudad ya no le tenga miedo al buen león.

Iris è una bambina allegra ed intelligente, un giorno si ritrova con un leone nel giardino. Un bel problema, dove potrà mai nasconderlo? Bisogna trovare una soluzione in fretta, perché molto probabilmente mamma e papà non capiranno e soprattutto penseranno che non sia una buona idea avere un leone in casa.Dalla brillante penna di Helen Stephens una storia simpatica che ci parla di amore per gli animali, coraggio e fiducia nel prossimo.Se non vuoi perderti nemmeno una delle nostre storie iscriviti alla newsletter su www.raccontiperbambiniliberi.com e seguici su Instagram: @raccontiperbambiniliberiSe vuoi sfogliare questo libro, lo puoi trovare qui: https://raccontiperbambiniliberi.com/i-nostri-racconti

Helen Stephens starts high school in Fulton in 1931. She’s a gangly, gravelly-voiced farm girl dressed in homemade clothes. Her classmates tease her with the unfortunate moniker “Popeye.” Helen takes it in stride with humor, attempting to own her identity - a feat for any teenager.

When Helen Stephens was fifteen years old, a track coach saw her playing pickup basketball and asked her to run a time trial in the school driveway. In that first-ever 50-yard dash, Stephens tied the world record. Only a year later at the 1936 Olympics, she would win two gold medals and her record would stand for twenty-four years. Meet this “forgotten legend” of US track with Fast Girls author Elise Hooper.       … The post THE FULTON FLASH Helen Stephens appeared first on What'shername.

More women are being encouraged to engage with trades and take up apprenticeships to find work. The Panel speaks to Apprenticeship Training Trust Chief Executive, Helen Stephens about the drive.

We talk with The Strand Magazine Managing Editor Andrew Gulli about the release of a previously unpublished story from Louisa May Alcott. Then we shine a light on a trio of female athletes who paved the way for generations of women Olympians. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Today on Alternate Histories, I am joined by Elise Hooper. "A New Englander by birth (and at heart), Elise lives with her husband and two young daughters in Seattle, where she teaches history and literature. The Other Alcott was her first novel." Elise and I discuss her new novel, Fast Girls. "In the 1928 Olympics, Chicago's Betty Robinson competes as a member of the first-ever women's delegation in track and field. Destined for further glory, she returns home feted as America's Golden Girl until a nearly-fatal airplane crash threatens to end everything. Outside of Boston, Louise Stokes, one of the few black girls in her town, sees competing as an opportunity to overcome the limitations placed on her. Eager to prove that she has what it takes to be a champion, she risks everything to join the Olympic team. From Missouri, Helen Stephens, awkward, tomboyish, and poor, is considered an outcast by her schoolmates, but she dreams of escaping the hardships of her farm life through athletic success.

Hooper shares why she decided to write a book about the the true stories of three members of the first integrated women’s Olympic team, Betty Robinson, Helen Stephens, and Louise Stokes, and their journeys to a place on the track team in the 1936 summer games in Berlin. Hooper shares the incredible obstacles these three trailblazing women had to overcome, including surviving a plane crash, enduring systematic racism, and an extraordinarily uncomfortable meeting with Adolf Hitler. to run in Berlin.

Jonathan Freedland takes the Long View of the gender debate in women's sport. There are currently two points of contention. The success of the Canadian Cyclist Rachel McKinnon, a trans gender athlete, in a master's world cycling event, lead to a number of senior female athletes objecting to the inclusion of trans gender women in international sporting competition. Their development as men, the argument runs, gives them a huge advantage when competing against women who matured as women. At the same time the Court for arbitration for sport is hearing the South African runner Caster Semenya's challenge against an International Amateur Althletics Federation ruling that says she must reduce her natural Testosterone levels in order to compete in women's sport. So where should the line be drawn between mens and women's competition? That's the story today, but it was also the story back in the 1930's when a Polish American runner Stanislawa Walasiewicz was the favourite for the women's 100 metres at the Berlin Olympics. Walasiewicz had settled with her parents in Cleveland and was better known as Stella Walsh. By 1932 she was also known as the Cleveland Flyer, but faced with unemployment she took up the offer to run for Poland at the Los Angeles Olympics and won Gold in the 100m. Already she was viewed by many as unusually manly in her running style and build. In the years between 1932 and the Berlin Olympics in 1936 insinuations continued but there was no action taken and she went on to compete successfully. However, in Berlin a French journalist suggested that Stella had to shave twice a day. She was favourite to win the 100m again. In the event she came second to the American Helen Stephens. The Polish team and press raised objections to Stephens suggesting that she was a man. What appears to be the first ever gender identity test was called for and Helen Stephens was its first victim. It would later be described by the legendary British Pentathlon Olympic Gold Medal winner,Dame Mary Peters, some forty years later as 'what in modern parlance, amounted to a grope.” Helen Stephens was exonerated and kept her medal, but it was a crude and profoundly humiliating way of dealing with the problem of gender verification in women's sport. Jonathan is joined by an Olympic athlete and a trans gender sportswoman to take the Long View of gender verification in women's sport.
