Ep. 3.19 - Mariah Parker (Linqua Franqa)
Episode description
Back with a new episode, Nate teases more treats coming down the pipeline (2:40) before sitting down with Mariah Parker aka Linqua Franqa (4:57). The two have a fantastic discussion about growing up around their mother’s gospel trio, early endeavors with writing, the power of communication, lingua franca, curiosity, the construct of schools, setting roots in Athens, Georgia, bringing hip hop back into the Athens music scene, finding hip hop and acts that could break the stigmas and expectations of rap music, running for office and getting elected as county commissioner, the roots of societal issues, the Linnentown Resolution, writing and crafting the new album, Bellringer, the Internet, the First Amendment and accountability, and combatting fear with the power of love. Then, Mariah partakes in the Jawntlet!
