Suzi Parker-Author, Journalist, Writing Instructor

 I heard about Suzi Parker in about 2004, when she published her book, "Sex in the South: Unbuckling the Bible Belt." I've always loved a rebel, and talking (out loud!) about sex in the South surely qualifies! A native of Pine Bluff, Suzi has done a lot of cool things, which you'll hear about in the episode. Check out the show notes below. As always, thanks for listening. Please subscribe and spread the word! www.womenleadarkansas.org darylshawn.bandcamp.com/music  Uppity Women is hosted by Stephanie Harris, founder of Women Lead Arkansas, a non-partisan nonprofit whose mission is to empower women and girls to engage in politics, policy, and leadership. This podcast is meant to showcase women (and men!) doing cool things; be a place for hard conversations we need to have before we can make progress (race, politics, feminism, etc.); bring people together to figure sh!t out and get stuff done; and generally thumb our noses at anyone who would tell us what we may or may not do as women.   Links: www.facebook.com/suziparker www.twitter.com/suziparker Amazon: www.amazon.com/Suzi-Parker/e/B001K7TGH0?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_fkmr1_1&qid=1552429154&sr=8-1-fkmr1 Slow Burn Podcast by Slate: slate.com/slow-burn Listen to both seasons, which cover Watergate and Clinton's impeachment.
