INTERVIEW

After a successful inaugural LadyfestGR in 2012, the now annual event is set to kick off next week, expanding to two days of women-only musical performances, a variety show and workshops. LadyfestGR, on March 22 and 23, again will pass along all proceeds from the festival to a local nonprofit, and this year’s beneficiary is Our Kitchen Table – the food and social justice organization, in part focused on teaching women and children about growing their own food.

In the Catalyst Radio studio are Jes Kramer, an organizer for LadyfestGr, and Lisa Oliver-King, executive director of Our Kitchen Table.

 

MUSIC

Music in this edition of Catalyst Radio is by Jean Grae, one of the featured performers at this year’s LadyfestGR. It’s Grae’s song “Away With Me.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
