SPECIAL GUEST

ON

INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS

with RAY SHASHO

 

Robin Trower has been heralded as one of the most influential Guitar players to come out of the British Blues Rock scene. Though other names may come to mind, none have the "signature sound and style" of the man who was tagged by the press with the nickname of "The White Hendrix" back in the 70's. Robin was in the audience during a performance by Jimi Hendrix those many years back, and he readily admits that the Experience changed his approach to the guitar. It is obvious to anyone who ever listened to Robin's music that he has taken the ethereal sound that Jimi first introduced to the world and created his own unique way of expressing himself through the guitar. The result is a unique style of music all his own - NOT an imitation of Jimi at all, and a career of considerable merit.



Robin is known for his incredible talent as a guitar player and his inspirational style of soloing, coaxing sounds from his Strat that seem to emanate from beyond this world. To be among those who have experienced Robin performing live is to be forever changed by this masterful Artist as he takes you along with him on one musical masterpiece after another.

Guest Occupation: Civil rights activist
Guest Biography:

Dorie Ladner was “born a rebel against oppression.” A native of the Hattiesburg, Mississippi community known as Palmer’s Crossing, she spent her childhood fighting back against the oppressive racial norms that governed the lives of Black people there. Her mother taught all of her eight children that they “were as good as anybody.”

Accommodating to white supremacy was not in her makeup. One day when she was twelve, Dorie was reading an issue of Jet Magazine at a convenience store, when the store’s white clerk “slapped [her] on the behind.” “I turned around and started beating him with the bag of doughnuts,” she recalled. When she told her mother of the incident, her mother replied “you should have killed him. Don’t ever let any white man touch you wrong.” So, explained Dorie, when she and her sister Joyce became part of the Movement, they were simply “doing what they prepared us to do.”

The Ladner family was close to Vernon Dahmer and his family. Dahmer was the president of the Forrest County branch of the NAACP and a vocal proponent of voting rights. Dahmer helped the Ladner sisters form an NAACP Youth Council in nearby Hattiesburg. Clyde Kennard, another older activist who attended school at the University of Chicago, agreed to serve as the youth council’s advisor. Pretty soon, Kennard and Dahmer were bringing the Ladner sisters to Jackson for statewide NAACP meetings. “I’m so grateful that I was exposed to people who at the time had vision,” remembered Dorie Ladner.

Both Dahmer and Kennard were killed because of their leadership in civil rights struggle. Both deaths profoundly affected Dorie and her sister.

The Ladners met Medgar Evers on one of their Jackson trips, and he also became an important mentor when they enrolled in Jackson State College. “Every Wednesday, we would go over and talk to him about freedom, which was abstract; all we wanted to know was about our freedom,” Dorie explained. In 1961, with Evers’ guidance, Ladner joined the protests of the “Tougaloo [College] Nine,” a group of students from Tougaloo who were arrested for trying to integrate the public library in downtown Jackson. As a consequence of her activism, Ladner was expelled from Jackson State. She and her sister later matriculated at Tougaloo College, which was known for its liberal stance towards student activism.

When Evers was assassinated in June, 1963, it was especially hard on Dorie and her sister. The anger that had been building up after every murder and lynching, especially those of Clyde Kennard and Emmett Till, reached its boiling point the next day. The day after Evers’ murder, Dorie ran up to two white police officers sitting in front of the Jackson’s Black Masonic Temple (which also served as the NAACP’s headquarters) and shouted at them, “Where were you last night? Why are you here now? Shoot! Shoot! Shoot us in the back like you did Medgar Evers.”

Despite her family’s insistence that she get an education, Dorie dropped out of Tougaloo three separate times to work for SNCC full-time. She once told her sister Joyce, “I can’t stay in school and know my people are suffering.” In the summer of 1962, she started working on SNCC’s voter registration projects in the Delta. Three years later, she became SNCC’s project director in Natchez, Mississippi.

Although Ladner was raised never to let fear prevent her from doing what she knew was right, she understood the constant possibility and danger of white violence. Upon entering Natchez with former SNCC chair Chuck McDew and field secretary George Greene, McDew handed her a gun for protection. Despite never needing to use it, Ladner was certain she would’ve if she needed to. She once said, “I didn’t think about the ramifications of anything like that; it was save yourself, survive.”

Guest Occupation: Certified Coach & Licensed Facilitator - Coaching women with epilepsy
Guest Biography:

Liz Nicholls is A Woman in Motion!

Getting Epilepsy at the age of 21 changed her life, it changed her! No one likes to feel marginalized by a medical condition. That is something that Liz Nicholls has fought hard not to be for most of her adult life. One of her specialties in Transformational Coaching is for women with epilepsy. Purely because she has been there, and knows that the struggles are both the same as everyone else and sometimes unique, as with any of life's challenges.



"It changes how you see yourself, how you feel about things, the world and everyone around you. It causes you to look at everything in a very different perspective"

​Liz Nicholls knows what it is to have lost everything and come back. At 21 she started learning how to live with a medical condition that few people really understand the impact of. She lost her job, her drivers license, and the impact of living with this uncertain challenge that flares up has given her a compassionate heart and now she taps into this in her important work. 



At 38 she made a life-changing decision. At 55, after surviving the loss of a parent, end of a long-term relationshiop, and overcoming chronic health issues, Liz recognized the need to find herself and her true purpose in life.

She studied under influential empowering women, worked for coaching companies and listened to 100's of women's stories at the same cross roads. It was at this time that she started her own business "Women In Motion", providing personal development and business resources for women.



Today, Liz helps women with epilepsy through her coaching programs, designed to support those women who she knows often still live in fear.  When epilepsy can appear without warning, it is easy to step into being a victim, and Liz has learned the strategies to keep her mindset in "Victor" mode!



She has climbed her way outside her box, having set out on a course alone in a search for resources to demand her life back from Grand Mal Epilepsy. She devoted time and effort to study blending cultures of health and align herself with the right people to overcome her blockages to live a fulfilling life.
