On today's episode, I talk to rapper, academic and politician
Mariah Parker AKA Linqua Franqa. Originally from Louisville,
Kentucky, Mariah wears many hats. As an academic, they earned their
master's in Linguistics at the University of Georgia in 2017 and
are currently a doctoral student in Language and Literacy Education
at the University. As an activist and politician, Mariah ran for
and won county commissioner in District 2 of Athens, Georgia. And
as a rapper, they've released two wonderful albums, Model Minority
in 2018 and their latest Bellringer, which was just released on
Ernest Jenning Record Co., and it's great!
