Louise Felix - On domestic work (clip)
Interviewed by Kathryn Wall on October 4, 2022
Louise Felix: “And my mom, she worked all Chapel Hill. I’ve worked for President Bill Friday, I've worked for Ms. Georgia Kyser, I've worked for lawyer Jay Brown, I've worked for lawyer Bob Ellison, and I helped clean all the houses. I worked the university for years, and me and my mom worked all [of] Franklin Street, that’s right because everybody knew her. And the other day it was really nice. I was over there talking to Missy that owns Alexander Jewelry, I mean clothing store [Julian’s]. I used to work for her father, I used to iron. And I told Missy, I said, “Hey Missy,” she said, “hey, Ms. Louise.” I said, “You know what, your daddy owes me some money. Now you need to write me a big old check now cause he ain’t paid me all the money he owes me.” And they just laughed because she knows me. She knows how I am.
