The Gay Mom Behind Pinxav + State Senator Royce Duplessis

Send us Fan MailThis episode we hear the stories of some really inspirational and strong people from our communities. First, I talk to Jodi Harris, one of two gay sisters behind the incredible lotion company (and one of our beloved sponsors!) Pinxav. As Jodi tells us, her grandparents started Pinxav in the 1920's, and it was such a useful product it's now being used by families all over the nation. Jodi, who is also a mom, tells us about her familial roots in Ohio, how the company was started and continued by her family, and how she's renewed Pinxav's image on social media to bring it into 2023.Then I talk to NOLA's new State Senator for District 5, Royce Duplessis. We chat about the worrying crime in NOLA and the French Quarter, and we get real and talk about our frustration over the safety of our city. We also discuss how State Sen. Duplessis is going to advocate for LGBT families and communities of color, his thoughts on schools banning certain books, and what inspires him to keep working for the people of NOLA every day.Support the showThank you to our family of amazing sponsors of UNSCRIPTED: The NolaPapa Podcast                                                 Ochsner Children’s HospitalWww.ochsner.orgRouses MarketsWww.ochsner.orgSTATE FARM® INSURANCE AGENT Leigh Ann Arcuri                www.ridewithla.comAudubon Nature Institute                                                                                                   www.aduboninstutue.org Cafe Du Monde                                                                            www.shop.cafedumonde.com                                                                         Sandpiper Vacations                                                                www.sandpipervacations.comNew Orleans Ice Cream Company                                 www.neworleansicecream.comERA TOP REALTY: Realtor Pamela Breaux                                                                Email to:[email protected] Orleans Tea Co.                                                 www.neworleansteacompany.comBottom of the Cup Tea Room                                                www.bottomofthecup.comAnd thank you to our AFTER DARK!
