I am truly excited about this new segment brought to ya' by Ochsner's Childrens' Hospital!
Milk-Bank Miracles with Dr. Harley Ginsberg will shine light on what the NICU is and what hospitals do to keep our little, itty bitty nuggets alive! It really is miraculous.
Dr. Ginsberg is the founder and medical director of Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist. He has written chapters for medical textbooks on neonatology and has published scientific medical articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of Perinatology, and Clinics in Perinatology among others. Dr. Ginsberg's professional interests include the use of donor human milk to prevent neonatal intestinal disease as well as the role of human milk in infection prevention.
I am blown away by this opportunity to partner with him and open a window for our audience to learn more not only about his Mother's Milk-Bank but also the guided hand to learn about the NICU! (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.)

Then later we welcome New Orleans Council Member Lesli Harris to hear about what our city is doing to combat our homeless crisis.
I met Council Member Harris one hot and blazey summer afternoon and since then, she has graced our show with her smile and passion for our city. I was so inspired by her devotion in this area of SO MANY areas to focus on. I learned by our interview that over 200 individuals have been rehabilitated through the "Home For Good Program" (https://homeforgoodneworleans.org)
Over 1,000 individuals have been taken off the street and ARE GIVEN recourses in all aspects of life; not to only get them off the streets, but to give them dignity, confidence and motivation to get back up and make the next day better than the last.
I wish you could see Council Member Lesli Harris' eyes when she presents the raw data, stats and numbers that really are jolting. There were a couple of topics that we didn't see quite eye to eye, but that is what civil dialogue is and unfortunately has been lost in our country for some time now.
I came to her with urgency because of a situation that happened with me and my family in the Marigny a couple of months back. It startled me, and I felt helpless. I don't like that feeling, ESPECIALLY when my babies are with me. My fear is that if the homeless numbers don't fall, the Governor will come in without warning and sweep the city before the city council, mayor, police chief etc. can do one thing.
I am encouraged by the newly released nola.com article that showed Council Member Lesli's vision. IS WORKING. And that bottom line is all I truly worry about. Her candor, smile and authenticity won me over from the beginning and I am still living for it.
THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS!
