Unapologetically Progressive.

It’s Not Easy Being Green, Part II

October 1, 2018
Air and Water Quality Environment Monthly October 2018

A Deeper Dumpster Dive Last month, while looking into waste and recycling in New Orleans, multiple friends and bedfellows alike told me the same thing – the city trashes its recycling. They each claimed, with high degrees of certainty, that they had seen city garbage trucks picking up residents’ recycling bins and throwing them into […]


Party Buses in Peril

October 1, 2018
Culture/Lifestyle Monthly October 2018 Op-Ed/Lagniappe

Another day, another ordinance. It seems the laissez-faire attitude New Orleanians love to boast about is slowly chipped away daily, mainly by residents (new and old) who complain about one thing or another. The music is too loud. The parade grounds are too crowded. The bike lanes are a menace. The bar is too close […]


The Heart of Business: Femininity

October 1, 2018
Monthly October 2018 Op-Ed/Lagniappe

Women in the entertainment business are often dismissed as working on passion-filled projects instead of getting the same career validation as their male counterparts. The thing is, it takes passion for business to happen because motivation drives action. Especially when access to money is considered. The issues affecting sexism in the music industry are so […]


Marijuana Reform and Social Justice

October 1, 2018
Featured Health Care Monthly October 2018

The state of Louisiana has more for-profit prisons than any other state, which unsurprisingly brings one out of every 86 adults behind bars. Yes, medical marijuana policy is inciting positive change, but this change must move more quickly.  People’s lives are at stake, specifically those in marginalized groups who already face oppression!   Louisiana incarceration […]


New Orleans LGBT+ History Comes Out of the Closet

October 1, 2018
Monthly October 2018 Social Issues

New Orleans is a city of paradoxes. One of the strangest has to do with LGBT+ history. In a city in love with its history, a city which inspires books on the most obscure historical topics on a monthly basis, much of the city’s LGBT+ history remains in the closet. Which is odd, given how […]


Progressive Activist Groups in NOLA

October 1, 2018
Monthly October 2018 Politics Social Issues

  I’m at a meeting in the middle of Tulane’s campus, where I collapse (a doctor tells me it’s dehydration, but I’ll just assume it’s the power of the Lord), while a presentation rages on about, what else, Brett Kavanaugh, who has now become way more a part of my job than I would like. […]


Malcolm Phillips: Portrait of a Songwriter

October 1, 2018
Monthly Music October 2018

Outside of the Maple Leaf Bar, my boyfriend and I, along with a close friend, await the arrival of Malcolm Phillips, a very self-definitive and incredibly unique singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Though the bar is closed, we have chosen it as a known spot at which to meet with this talented gentleman. He arrives, guitar […]


IFPS Conference 2018 – Immigration: Balancing Compassion, Security, and Jobs

October 1, 2018
Economy Monthly October 2018 Politics

I recently attended a program, “Institute for Faith and the Public Square” (IFPS) at the New Orleans Theological Baptist Seminary, Leavell Chapel. IFPS is known for tackling many current theological, legal, and philosophical topics with programs on race, sexuality, et al. The event I attended IFPS Conference 2018 – Immigration: Balancing Compassion, Security, and Jobs. […]


Lionel Milton: Artist, Renaissance Man

October 1, 2018
Art Featured Monthly October 2018

I am waiting outside of DTB, restaurant and bar on Oak St. I am certain the man crossing the street with confidence and charisma is Lionel Milton, the fantastic artist I am here to meet with. I am correct! I greet him and we take a booth inside. Talking to Lionel, I learn he has […]


Taja’ Mitchem, Beautiful Photographs By A Beautiful Woman

October 1, 2018
Art Monthly October 2018

Though I only had the pleasure of meeting Taja’ Mitchem briefly over a cup of tea at Rue De La Course, it was certainly an honor and a privilege. This delightfully sweet, incredibly talented young woman is already someone whose work should be seen by all. She is soft-spoken, but her pictures speak volumes. Margaret: […]
