MEET THE FACILITATORS

A.E. Rooks hopes to always be a student of history, which hasn’t stopped her from studying everything else. While her forthcoming debut, The Black Joke: The True Story of One Ship's Battle Against the Slave Trade, explores a little discussed facet of the transatlantic slave trade, previous writing credits include Between the Briefs, for which she won two national awards for sex positive journalism. A two-time Jeopardy! champion whose schooling spans theatre, law, library and information science, education, human sexuality, Rooks' literary passions are united by what the past can teach us about the present, how history shapes our future, and above all, really interesting stories.

Bri Whetstone is a local attorney at McCranie Sistrunk Anzelmo Hardy McDaniel & Welch, who practices intellectual property and entertainment law. Before joining the practice of law, she worked at LucasArts in San Francisco in Business Affairs where she handled Copyright applications, drafted contracts, managed international trademarks, and drafted the Lucas Companies’ social media policy. She graduated magna cum laude from Tulane Law School in 2013, where she served as a longtime Ella Project pro bono volunteer. She has presented workshops for Ella since 2017, and has designed the Music Business Intensive.
