Memphis Minnie, the only woman songwriter on the Jitterbug! songwriting team, has been recognized by the National Blues Museum as part of its inaugural opening for her contributions to the blues.  This is a well-deserved and appropriate honor considering everything she overcame to follow her calling in a world dominated by men and a culture where women had few rights. You can learn more about her on the Jitterbug! Songwriters Team & Creative Directors page on the Jitterbug! website. Just scroll down on that page to her June 3rd birthday. 

You can watch Emmy-nominated choreographer Jeffrey Page's dance number for the Jitterbug! "slow drag" scene with Khalil Kane and Afi McClendon to her song Jitis Blues below.
