On this 2020 Thanksgiving day, under normal circumstances, most of us would be watching the Macy's Day parade in the heart of Herald Square. A New York and holiday tradition capped by a stunning performance from the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. With Covid-19 still surging, the look of Thanksgiving Day parade is not too familiar.
In keeping with tradition, Maryam wanted to bring something to the podcast that highlights the parade's special moments and the tradition it holds. Nothing is more quintessential to the parade than the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. This episode of North of 40 is unique as we introduce Jennifer Jones, the first African American Radio City Music Hall Rockette, and Erica Vaughn, former Rockette, dancer, performer, artivist. Jennifer, mother of two and trailblazer alongside, Erica talk about what it means to be a Rockette, the tradition of Radio City, and the soul-shifting moments that took them to a dancing career and beyond.
We tackle Covid-19, the bureaucratic ladened Rockette machine and hope. They highlight their hopes for the future in this episode. Also, they break down ROCA :: Rockettes of Color Alumnae organization, why it's important to the legacy of American culture and you. We are honored to share this vital session with you.
This episode was recorded at home via Zoom during Covid-19 pandemic.
