"Ode to Ivor" in Southhampton Co., VA

There are innumerable ways to share Black stories with a broader audience and keep our beloved memories alive. In honor of your Labor Day Weekend family and research travel plans, I'm sharing my dear friend and DMV-based artist Tamara Wellons’ musical tribute to her hometown. She says -


"Ode to Ivor," a heartfelt tribute to my Southern Virginia roots and a prelude to my upcoming documentary. This song is particularly special because it captures the essence of my upbringing in Southampton County, featuring the voices of my family and community.


"Ode to Ivor" isn’t just a song; it’s placed-based music celebrating and capturing the soul of a small community through music.


Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.


Much love and appreciation,

Tamara Wellons
