Yall Come See is a podcast & documentary exploring Black regions, cultures & imaginations
This is a space that recreates my grandmother’s and great aunt’s living rooms. In particular, I am imagining my great aunt Mary Rose’s living room, a space without hierarchies. Many of my ethics around knowledge sources, shared space, and various communicating abilities were shaped in that living room.
Season I .....coming soon.
I Ain't No African
In this season, we look at the life of LuLu to examine Black creole culture in Southwest Louisiana. We ask, how African culture thrived in this place for so long and why we didn't know about it? We wonder, how we can learn from the past to reclaim our future and name it? We ask, what did Lulu know, what was reshaped, and what’s in a name?
Southwest Louisiana and African Cultural Perpetuity
Everyone loves Creole culture and food. The French & the Spanish, to whom we give much of the credit for Creole Culture, mostly contributed language through colonization and enslavement. However, what the world now calls Creole is, actually, a mix of African traditions, practices & ways of being. This Creole way of being is made most apparent to me through my great grandmother, Lulu.
She survived, she lived, and she passed down to us what she knew. Culture. Wisdom, a Black creole way of moving, being & understanding the world.
