Deep Cut #4: North Carolina, Coming of Age, & Lexual

Published: September 14th 2024, 6:09:33 pm

Hi!

I know I haven't posted new content in a while, but I promise I've been working! Not only is this new video available, but I Love The 90s: Style is dropping by September 25th! <3

What is the story of Charlotte, North Carolina BEFORE the 1990s? How did Charlotte's history and culture forge the unconventional historian known as Lexual? From the days of colonialism to the arrival of the Charlotte Hornets and Pat McCrory, this is a personal dive into the city and state that raised me and made me who I am today.
