Celebrating Black History

A Blonde A Brunette and a Mic

Feb 12 2024 • 34 mins

As we gathered around the family table, welcoming my son home from the UK, his stories of landscaping magic couldn't help but reflect the transformative power of growth—a theme that permeates this anniversary episode of our podcast. The celebration turns introspective when we navigate the aftermath of Andrew's hit-and-run, unpacking the intricate dance between law enforcement and insurance, a maze many of us know all too well!

This week is about remembrance and reverence; it's Black History Month, and we're spotlighting the stories that have been left in the shadows for far too long. We pay homage to the resilience of a poetess born into slavery, the ingenuity of gaming pioneer Jerry Lawson, and the unwavering courage of Shirley Chisholm. Our journey continues with a reflection on the Tulsa Massacre, the soaring achievements of Mae Jemison, and the daring espionage of entertainer Josephine Baker. These narratives are not just a nod to the past—they're a rally cry for acknowledgment, a celebration of the spirit, and an inspiration for the future. Join us and honor the giants whose shoulders have become the foundation for the road ahead.
