Jolivette talks about her work understanding her family’s history in Shreveport, Louisiana and its relationship to the greater narrative of black history in post-Jim Crow America, or the “Black Cultural Continuum” as she refers to it, and in turn to American History at large.
And we discuss her experience as a theatre artist and her upcoming turn as director of Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette’s production of Disney’s The Lion King Jr.
