In this conversation Lisa speaks of growing up in a Louisiana based family with a long history of music and education traditions. She shares her Journey as someone with a life mission of creating synergy/serving connection . . . and the fruits of that, which include RedBone Press. One of the architects of the Fire & Ink writers festival for GLBT people of African decent, Lisa talks about the work and research that went into working with Joseph Beam's mother, Dorothy Beam, to re-print, "Brother to Brother" and "In the Life." Always graceful, humble and fierce, Lisa lays down words of wisdom for people trying to be in their Yes in the face of no.
