We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Alabama LGBTQ elder, teacher, activist, artist, friend—Minnie Bruce Pratt (@MBPratt). Minnie Bruce lived a life emblematic of growing and learning in grace and love.

She was truly an inspiration, and a fierce proponent of justice and the arts into her last days. We were honored to have Minnie Bruce be one of our first ever guests on the Higher Ground Society Podcast.

A.k says that she "wants to be able to help people open up and see more to the world than the material." OKAY THEN, SIS! Calling on her East African roots and Mobile life experiences, A.k's song "Who Are You" is a celebration of earth and humanity! Follow so you don't miss A.k!

We honestly can't wait for you to hear our next patch...A.kthelivingart, also known as Aguol Kuot! A.k's name means "created and born to change the world" in the Dinka language, and she's living up to that name for sure!
