Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio.

On today's episode I have my friend Tiffany on to talk about the life and legacy of the

one and only Billy Holiday.

Billy Holiday is somebody who I've long had a lot of affection for her art and her music

and I've always wanted to do an episode on her on the show, sort of in the tradition

of some of the other musical episodes we've done and I knew that Tiffany would be the

perfect guest to have on to talk about this and she did not disappoint.

So throughout you'll hear clips from Billy Holiday's music and we'll link to those in

the show notes so you can more easily find those and just hopefully become a fan of Billy

who is this giant in blues and jazz and music in general and in American history.

So without further ado let's get into this wonderful episode with Tiffany on the life

and legacy of Billy Holiday.

So hi everybody I'm Tiffany a 25 year old born and raised on the east side of

Atlanta Georgia.

I'm a graduate of Florida A&M University which is a historically black university in

telehazzy Florida.

I consider myself a student of abolition, a student of communism and a student of pan-Africanism.

I'm also a landscape and nature photographer and a long time listener of RevLeft.

So I'm super happy to be here.

Thank you so much for having me on Brett.

I actually haven't been in college in a while and so this is my first time really digging

my heels into studying a particular historical figure and it's just been super enjoyable.
