Glitter Lady showed up again at the King Street Farmer's Market. Hopefully she won't go back next Tuesday, when the market opens from 4 to 7. Black Birch Apothecary was her first stop. More to come. What a disgrace for her to see how all farmers are thriving.

Dr. Jim Fogelquist interviews Dr. Sophia Enriquez, the new Vive President of the Appalachian Studies Association. They talk about her background and about music and traditions.

When I came to Boone to study Sustainable Development in the Sustainable Development Department at Appalachian State University, I immediately started admiring the impressive community relations with the land and the foodways. As a journalist and researcher, I wanted to know the origins of BRWIA, an organization that provides food security to many. I'm glad that BRWIA honors its founders because it is sad that in the United States of America retirees become invisible in many ways. But these ladies were (and still are) so strong that it would be impossible to ignore them. Now that I'm working on my master's degree in Appalachian Studies I realized how important the program was also for the develop of this great organization. I feel so proud of being the fist Latina to graduate in the Center of Appalachian Studies and I hope that I can continue contributing with all things Appalachia. I have treasured every moment spent with them. Special thanks to Judith Phoenix, a true friend and my partner in crime in many adventures here in the High Country. www.yndianamontes.com

Este video es sobre el galardón Helen Lewis, que se otorga desde el año 2021 durante la ceremonia de premiación de la Conferencia de la Asociación de Estudios Apalaches (ASA por sus siglas en inglés). También reseña otros importantes segmentos, como el breve discurso de despedida del Dr. Ricardo Nazario Colón, quien hasta poco después fue presidente de esa organización. Como estoy cursando una maestría en Estudios Apalaches en la Appalachian State University, he asistido tanto el año pasado como este año a dicho evento. Fue encantador poder departir también con la Dra. Patricia Beaver, madre fundadora de los Estudios Apalaches y quien fuera por dos décadas directora del Centro de Estudios Apalaches. Ella estuvo este año -- junto a la ya también legendaria Dra. Sandy Ballard, entregando dicho premio. El ganador fue el conocido autor y activista Robert Gipe.

Glitter Lady gets really upset when learning about the ASU Climate Stories Collaborative event of next Tuesday April 4th, 2023. She loves climate change and ecological disasters, and can't hide his anger because a great leader on climate stories is coming to campus.

Dr. Jim Fogelquist presented a documentary about how the musical duo “Larry and Joe” was formed at the 46th Appalachian Studies Association Conference's AppalachiaFest. The video was shown in a session convened by Dr. Cece Conway. It was done with excerpts from an interview I recorded with Jim interviewing Larry Bellorín last September at the NC Folk Fest in Greensboro, NC. Larry and Joe will be appearing at the Jones House in Boone NC in April 4th, 2023.

Affrilachia! Afrilachian poet. Qué es eso? No pierdas la oportunidad de saberlo y de ver en vivo y en directo declamar su poesía al poeta Ricardo Nazario Colón este jueves en Appalachian State University.

With a better sound, here we have a videoclip of Glitter Lady.
