The Golf Course Mentality (w/Eun Lee)

Happy Monday, Scorekeepers! And happy Women's History Month! We've got a humdinger of an episode for your listening pleasure this week. First up, one thing I bet you didn't know about Paige is that she's been training to become a doula, and recently, she experienced her first birth. She talks about this glorious, life-altering event and why doulas and midwives are so important when it comes to addressing the healthcare disparities that women - especially Black women - experience every day (0:08:13). Next, we're joined by the brilliant Eun Lee, artist, scholar, and Executive Director of The Dream Unfinished, NYC's activist orchestra (0:34:54). And, real talk, if any of you are still questioning what anti-racist activism can look like in the classical music space, you gon' learn today! But whether you are or not, you'll thoroughly enjoy this inspiring, heartfelt conversation with one of the most dynamic leaders in this space. Lastly, we end with a bit of Pure Black Joy (1:21:52), featuring Mitchell-Hamline School of Law's Center for the Study of Black Life and the Law, Jennie Joseph, and Brendan Slocumb's The Violin Conspiracy.
