What OLOHP Women Are Up To

Not surprisingly, the women who have shared their stories with the OLOHP are a fascinating bunch. So much so that we decided to devote a page on our website to highlight some of the many endeavors in which they are currently involved.

Gaye Adegbalola, Fredricksburg, VA
Born 1944, interviewed in 2015


Interviewing the dynamic Gaye Adegbalola was a unique experience for the Project. She and her interviewer would be talking away, when suddenly, Gaye would break out in song! Kudos to the transcriber who took this one on –– she did an amazing job of capturing the spirit of Gaye's interview.

For those who don't know her work, here is just a brief peek at the multi-talented Gaye Adegbalola: Blues Music Award winner and a founding member of Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women, Gaye plays guitar, harmonica and is a composer. She has recorded 10 CDs on Alligator Records and has toured widely throughout the U.S. and internationally. Gaye has also released five CDs on her own Hot Toddy Music label.

A former Virginia State Teacher of the Year, Gaye is also in demand for workshops, lectures and motivational public speaking. A long time activist, she is presently involved with issues of diversity and is committed to the struggle for GLBT rights.

Note sent to the OLOHP: What you have done is so important that I think even you don’t understand it. This will have a life of its own and be around way after we are gone. To have thought this up, seen the need, and assumed the effort to get it done is phenomenal. I really do salute you.
TF says: The women that the OLOHP has brought to us have lived remarkable lives, often solitary and private, and we are far richer for knowing these women, their struggles and their passion.
