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. […]

Margaret Marley - Contributing Writer October 1, 2018Outside 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.

Taja’ Mitchem, Beautiful Photographs By A Powerful Woman
Margaret Marley - Contributing Writer October 1, 2018Though 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: […]
