Annual Report 2019 Leading the Way for Our Next Generation of Girls A New Leader Steps Up In May of 2019, Step Up CEO Jenni Luke announced she would depart Step Up at the end of June. During her 10 years as CEO, Jenni spearheaded organizational expansion and refinement. Honing its focus to reach girls living or going to school in under-resourced communities with social emotional learning- based after-school programs and social capital-building mentorship programs, Jenni led the nonprofit through a key mission and brand refresh. She secured Step Up’s largest gift to date with a three-year grant from the Coach Foundation, enabling expansion to Dallas. This growth to a fourth city marked the organization’s first new market in 10 years. Jenni also revitalized Step Up’s national board of directors. With the transition, Step Up would seek just its fourth CEO in its 21-year history. In July, the organization announced that it had selected Delores Druilhet Morton for the role. A nonprofit executive with 20 years of experience designing and leading creative enterprises that make a lasting difference, Morton most recently served as vice president for the West region at City Year. Before her work at City Year, Morton was the chief program officer for Points of Light, where she designed and delivered programs that mobilized thousands of volunteers to meet education, economic opportunity, emergency response and preparedness needs in communities. She helped Fortune 500 companies drive their philanthropic platforms, including L’Oreal’s Women of Worth and Walt Disney Company’s Give A Day Get a Disney Day, and was honored by President Barack Obama as a 2012 Champion of Change. “I’m excited to join Step Up at a time when the work is so critical and relevant,” Morton said. “It’s important that all girls – including girls from our marginalized communities – have opportunities to develop the social emotional skills necessary for graduating high school confident, college-bound and career-focused.” Based in Step Up’s national headquarters in Los Angeles, Delores spent her first few months on the job visiting each Step Up market and meeting with Step Up girls, board members, partners, funders, mentors and staff members.

  • Wilson AKNER One
    Nothing to See Here ‘Brilliant, hilarious, sardonic, heartbreaking, strange, utterly fantastic.’ ELIZABETH GILBERT Kevin ‘Good lord, I can’t believe how good this book is.’ TAFFY BRODESSER- Wilson AKNER One IN THE LATE SPRING OF 1995, JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER I’D turned twenty- eight, I got a letter from my friend Madison Roberts. I still thought of her as Madison Billings. I heard from Madison four or five times a year, updates on her life that were as foreign to me as reports from the moon, her existence the kind you only read about in magazines. She was married to an older man, a senator, and she had a little boy whom she dressed in nautical suits and who looked like an expensive teddy bear that had turned human. I was working two cashier jobs at com- peting grocery stores, smoking weed in the attic of my mother’s house because when I had turned eighteen, she had immedi- ately turned my childhood bedroom into a workout room, a huge NordicTrack filling the place where I’d unhappily grown up. I sporadically dated people who didn’t deserve me but thought they did. You can imagine how Madison’s letters were a hundred times more interesting than mine, but we stayed in touch. This letter had broken up the natural spacing of her cor- respondence, precise and expected. But that didn’t give me pause. Madison and I did not communicate except on paper. I didn’t even have her phone number. NothingToSeeHere_9780062913463_Final_EB0626_cc17.indd 1 6/26/19 12:14 PM 2 Kevin Wilson I was on break at the Save- A- Lot, the first chance I’d had to read the thing, and I opened it to find that Madison wanted me to come to Franklin, Tennessee, where she lived on her hus- band’s estate, because she had an interesting job opportunity for me.

  • Tanya Tucker
    Tanya Tucker │Biography │ One of country music’s greatest legends, Tanya Tucker, has just released her much anticipated new CD, My Turn, on Saguaro Road Records. On this new album Tucker takes classic country songs originally recorded by the all time great male legends of the time and turns the tables, giving classics such as “You Don’t Know Me” and “Oh, Lonesome Me” a powerful reconstruction from a woman’s point of view. Only 13 when her provocative “Delta Dawn” caused a nationwide stir and became a Top 10 country hit, Tucker has built one of the most successful and compelling careers in music. Considered one of the very few females of the “outlaw” country movement, she holds a Grammy award, two Country Music Association awards, Two Academy of Country Music awards, and three CMT Awards. 23 of her albums have landed in the country Top 40 chart since her 1972 debut, and she has amassed 10 #1 country singles, 33 that have reached the Top 5, and 41 in the Top 10. Always reinventing herself, Tanya again became a media darling in 2005 as the star of her own television reality series, Tuckerville. The primetime series was a huge hit for TLC, generating the cable network’s highest Neilsen ratings ever, and guaranteed the show’s return in 2006. Having sold over 50 million records over the last three decades, country music icon Tanya Tucker is among the all-time best selling female vocalists in country music. “Surprisingly mature at a very young age, Tanya Tucker continues to grow today, taming and conquering tunes long assumed to be a man’s territory.

  • WORKING CLASS EXPRESSION THROUGH KARAOKE SONG SELECTION Mark T. Gerolami a Thesis Submitted To
    "I LOVE THIS BAR": WORKING CLASS EXPRESSION THROUGH KARAOKE SONG SELECTION Mark T. Gerolami A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2007 Committee: David Harnish, Advisor Steven Cornelius ii ABSTRACT David Harnish, Advisor This thesis probes the meaning and processes of karaoke song selection at Whiskey Dick’s, a working-class bar in Bowling Green, Ohio. Through research, observations, and interviews conducted from 2005 to 2006, it examines how working-class identity manifests itself in karaoke song selection. As part of positioning the author into the study, I introduce my own background and discuss my history with both karaoke music and working-class culture. An analysis of a single night at Whiskey Dick’s creates a framework for specific observations and gives the reader greater context, while the lengthy enthnography provides for more generalized observations. In interviews and discussions with the singers I attempt to uncover the meaning behind each song selected, discovering how conscious singers are of their choices. For some participants my research eventually impacted how they pick songs thus raising issues of intrusion by the ethnomusicologist. I examine several of the most popular songs at Whiskey Dick’s and analyze the lyrics of each, focusing on class representation within the lyrics. In addition, the difficulties of speaking about music and our musical preferences are explored and discussed in reference to the singers at Whiskey Dick’s. iii This thesis is dedicated to everyone who enjoys making music a part of life.

  • THIRD WAVE FEMINISM in POP MUSIC by THAILAN PHAM
    ARTICULATING FEMINISM AND POLITICS: THIRD WAVE FEMINISM IN POP MUSIC by THAILAN PHAM (Under the Direction of Jay Hamilton) ABSTRACT This study examines pop music in context of third wave feminism. The songs selected as material text are: Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman,” Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi,” Christina Aguilera’s “Can’t Hold Us Down,” featuring Lil’ Kim, and Missy Elliott’s “Work It.” The songs and corresponding music videos were analyzed for their responses and solutions to the issue of gender inequality. The songs were also examined for contradiction among songs and in relationship to third wave feminism. Results indicated similarities along ethnic lines and visual displays of sexuality rooted in patriarchal gender construction.
