Mama Lola is a hero in her daughter's eyes!

What happens when you meet Brooklyn's voodoo queen in New Orleans? Author Mandy Haynes will answer that question as we explore New Orleans voodoo traditions. *Correction to the information in the show: according to online sources, Mama Lola is still alive and kickin'! We wish her many more years of health and happiness! Like Mark Twain, Mama Lola can say "The rumors of my death have been largely exaggerated." https://threedogswritepress.com/ Mandy Haynes has spent hours on barstools, at backstage venues, and riding in vans listening to tales from some of the best songwriters and storytellers in Nashville, Tennessee. She now lives in Fernandina Beach, Florida with her three dogs, a turtle, and a grateful liver. Walking the Wrong Way Home was a finalist for the 2017 Tartt Fiction Award and chosen as a bonus book for The 2019 Pulpwood Queen Book Club Reading List. Sharp as a Serpent's Tooth Eva and Other Stories was chosen as a bonus book for The 2020 Pulpwood Queen Book Club Reading List. Mandy worked for twenty-six years for Vanderbilt University Medical Center before deciding to run away to Amelia Island. She started as a clerk, working in the mailroom and making thousand of copies of patients medical records - but worked her way up to finish the last sixteen years as a pediatric cardiac sonographer at Monroe Carroll Jr. Children's Hospital. Some of her favorite memories include her time as a receptionist/administrative assistant in Addiction Psychiatry, break-room antics with her fellow refund clerks, and of course all of the families and children she met in cardiology. Fans of Fannie Flagg, Flannery O'Conner, Wiley Cash, Rick Bragg, Harper Lee, and Harry Crews might enjoy her writing style. These stories are for readers who like to chase their stories with a shot of whiskey while burrowed under a hand stitched quilt.

We dedicate this episode to the xingonaness, bravery, and resilience of all muxeres who're survivors, who've spoken their truth, held their truth, or stood in truth with others these past few weeks as the movement of **#metoo grows to become #wetoo**. **Join us as we discuss the dignities of Dr. Anita Hill and Dr. Ford**. Estas muxeronas who spoke their truth have forever changed the landscape of this long war against patriarchy and rape, regardless of the reality that both of the men they accused in different points in our history, Clarence Thomas and now Brett Kavanaugh, sit on the Supreme Court. We ain't gonna despair. Our culture is changing and we - with our brilliance and resilience - are still here. We got us. We'll talk self-care in these moments #curanderaremedies, vibe to a kick-ass playlist of up and coming Latinx artists, and get real about need for white women to step up their game cause white feminism ain't doing anyone any favors. Únete a nuestra conversación! **Playlist:** * Mama Lola by **Jesse Baez** - Odio by **Ile** , Las Caras Lindas de Mi Gente Negra by **Flor de Tolache**, Brujeria by **El Gran Combo**, **Esta Rico** by Will Smith and Marc Anthony featuring Bad Bunny

The word “Vodou” evokes images of sorcery and sticking pins into dolls. In fact, it’s a living tradition wherever Haitians are found based on ancestral religions in Africa. We walk through this mysterious tradition — one with dramatic rituals of trances and dreaming and of belief in spirits, who speak through human beings, with both good and evil potential.

Patrick Bellegarde-Smith is a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and author of many books about Vodou. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “Patrick Bellegarde-Smith — Living Vodou.” Find more at onbeing.org.
