Why a Prince LOVESEXY Symposium?
In this interview by Karen Gabay for the Soul of Manchester, De Angela L. Duff discusses why a Prince LOVESEXY Symposium was very important for her to do this year for the 30th anniversary of Prince’s 10th album.
In this interview by Michael Dean on The Prince podcast, De Angela L. Duff discusses the LOVESEXY Symposium and how Prince came into her life.
On Episode 65 of the Trickykid Radio Podcast, De Angela was interviewed by Roy Turner about Prince & organizing EYE NO #Lovesexy30BK. You can hear her segment around 44 minutes and 12 seconds in. The podcast also has an amazing segment with Ingrid Chavez!
Why a Prince Symposium at an engineering school?
De Angela directly addresses why Prince is relevant to an engineering school in this article, Celebrating an Innovative Music Legend, from last year when she co-organized Peach + Black: Celebrating 30 years of Prince’s Sign O’ The Times.
Very Special Thanks from De Angela L. Duff
I would like to express immense gratitude to the following people. I wouldn’t have been able to pull this all together without the help of:

Mable Ivory for giving me the confidence to produce my own Prince events! I’ll never forget you!
Krysta Battersby for always saying yes when you have every right to say no.
Eric Maiello for always being my right-hand man! I appreciate you!
Katherine Bennett for being my biggest cheerleader and helping me whenever I ask.
Kirsty Fairclough for providing the contacts to make the Lovesexy guests happen.
Ivan Orr for your understanding and patience during this crazy time in my life.
Ricky Wyatt, eye no I still have several Grown Folks Music Prince podcasts to edit! They’ll get done! I promise.
Harold Pride for always being a butterfly kiss away, always saying yes to the prince podcasts, and keeping my symposium decisions in check.
Zaheer Ali for being my Prince friend, the best kind of friend one can have, and for continuing to do the prince podcasts with me.

To all the panelists, thank you for wanting to participate. There would be no symposium without your presence.

To all the attendees this year, welcome to the new power generation! We’re going to have a ball!
Camron Gilreath for everything past and present!
Prince Rogers Nelson, what a wild ride it has been and continues to be! You are the gift to the world that keeps on giving! I will continue to speak your name and yell it from the mountaintops until I’m in the ground. Who would I be if it wasn’t for you? Even today, you still give me thrills, chills, and mouth-dropping moments of surprise and sheer awe, but more than that you have always made my life worth living! What are you going to do next? I can’t wait!
