The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

In 2023, he was the winner of the American Medical Association Research Challenge for his work in this area.…

In this podcast, they discuss health inequalities in PSC, including provider bias, lack of access to care, delay in diagnosis, importance of diversity in clinical trials, and more. "It is not unusual to hear from some of our minority patients that they've been told by other providers that PSC affects people who are Caucasian, and they shouldn't be affected by the disease, leading to a delay in diagnosis of PSC, and even putting them at risk of poorer outcomes," says Dr. Yimam. McKay and Yimam also discuss how including a diverse group of people in PSC natural history studies will allow researchers to better understand how genetics, socio-economic factors, cultural biases, and more affect the search for treatments and a cure for PSC. To make that happen, diversity is needed within the PSC Partners Patient Registry.…
