Episode 2: "Sing Her Name" Chatting with Rosalyn Story, Sister and Published Author!
In our second episode, we chat with author and sister Rosalyn Story. and discuss her newest book “Sing Her Name”: a novel based on real life African American opera singer Siseretta Jones. We also discuss her inspiring book on the history of African American singers in opera titled And So I Sing: African American Divas of Opera and Concert which inspired the nationally broadcast PBS documentary Aida's Brothers and Sisters, about the history of African-Americans in opera.
A big thank you to Rosalyn Story for taking the time to chat with us about “Sing Her Name” as well as her other fascinating musical and literary projects. Enjoy!
