In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Emily Hudson the Executive Director and Founder of the Southeast Kentucky African American Museum and Cultural Center (SEKYAAMCC). Born and raised in the hills of Eastern Kentucky, Emily explains what led her away and what eventually brought her back to the place she has always called "home." In light of Black History Month, the SEKYAAMCC is a place that celebrates black history in Appalachia every month (not just one month a year), but more importantly provides a platform to tell the stories of Appalachia that were often overlooked or just unheard. Take a listen as she describes moving for opportunity, finding her identity and why she is so passionate about preserving the past and educating about local history. You might even hear the guys thoughts on the NBA Slam-Dunk Competition - or can we now call it the Appalachian Championship? Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: D.A.A.D. Distilling!
