Christophe Vanderhogan-Landry & 2010

The Three Wise Girls have decided to follow a new path for 2010. Call it a New Year’s Resolution, or an epiphany … either way, call it a smart move. We’ve developed a new mantra, “It’s a conversation, not an interview,” and we intend to focus mostly on topics, rather than only on specific people. This will allow us to embrace a larger audience. Certainly the topics we might cover on any random week’s show are topics that will relate to most anyone—dreams, funny people, whether you love or hate sports, cookies … and who-knows-how-many-other subjects of day-to-day life. We, The Three Wise Girls, will offer you the forum. You call in and talk to us about the “Subject du Jour,” or in proper French, “Suject du Jour.” At least I think that’s proper French. I’m sure you’ll tell me if it isn’t.

Now with all that said and speaking of French, we DO have a special guest for our very first show of 2010. After all, rules are made to be broken, aren’t they? At least occasionally. And if we’re the ones who made the rules, heck, on occasion we may just have to break them.



Our topic for January 7, 2010 will be race relations, cultural identification, and the truly unique world of all things Louisiana. Christophe Vanderhogan-Landry was born in New Iberia, LA. French-Creole by cultural identification, American by nationality, Christophe works tirelessly to reinvigorate and revitalize the Creole and French languages. He has mastered multiple languages, including the nearly-lost art of speaking Creole—a heritage as much as a way of speaking. He’s a mixed-race international American citizen who advocates for racial equality through coming together, not separation.

We’d love to have you call in to this conversation. The show willl air LIVE on Thursday, January 7, 2010, noon - 1 PM EST, on Blog Talk Radio. Check out our link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/threewisegirls. The call-in number: 347-994-3835. We also have a chatroom so if you can't get through on the phone at any given time, please jump into the chatroom and let us know you're there!

Please join us and listen to Christophe's take on racial equality. Give us your own. His is a viewpoint you've probably not heard often, and whether you agree with him or not, it’s a viewpoint you’ll want to hear. What makes us who we are? Is it our heritage, our profession, our language, our culture, our color? Or is it the sum total of all of that? Louisiana's own Christophe Vanderhogan-Landry has his own take on this topic, and he is truly one of a kind!
