1. Shawan Rice

For the inaugural episode of Universal Folklore, I sat down with a longtime friend, Shawan Rice. Shawan is a musician based in NOLA and an overall brilliant and lovely person. Among many things, we talk about how she found herself in New Orleans, the importance of feeling a bit uncomfortable at times, and the struggle of recognizing and projecting your value as an artist.
