Culture can change so fast when we begin to tell our stories.

I think that the most powerful way to change culture is when you tell your story.

My name is Ashley Seaford.

As a writer, I've seen the power words have to affect change.

When people tell their stories, it opens up a whole new world of possibility.

That's why I'm excited to be working with Ben and Jerry's on a new podcast series called Into the Mix.

Ben and Jerry's is well known for their advocacy, including their work on

voting rights efforts, climate justice, and many, many more issues. They act on their values.

And we both believe that when you combine the power of art, culture, and activism, you can drive real impactful change.

In this series, we'll talk to some artists you've definitely heard of who are using their

platforms for good.

How can we get the guns off the streets of New Orleans?

That's what artists should be part of, is the imagination of a better world,

a better scenario,

and creating art that shows people that.

And it's not just about what we say no to,

but we have to know what we say yes to.

Okay, you just heard New Orleans Queen of Bounce, Bigida, Grammy Emmy and Oscar-winning musician John Legend, and artist and activist Fabiana Rodriguez.

Be a part of the conversation with us, starting February 23rd as we talk about art and activism, but also the pleasure and joy we find along the way.

Okay, I have to ask this, though, do you have a sweet tooth?

Oh, baby, pecan pie, coconut pie, sweet potato pie.

I need it all, girl, I'm hungry right now.
