Episode Details

This week the ladies' synergy is in full force as they both cover prominent black women who broke down barriers and generally kicked ass! While sipping on some face-kicking Lake Girl Pontoon Red wine, Emily starts off with the story of Elizabeth Jennings Graham a teacher and church organist who was already running late for church and then kicked off of a streetcar for being black. She turned her shitty experience into a movement to fight segregation on transit in New York. Then, Kelley covers a gal who both she and Emily should have known, legendary mathematician Katherine Johnson! Katherine fought for her place at the table and was played a central role of some of NASA's most pivotal missions! We also give a special shout out to physicist Hedwig Kohn (132 years young girl!) So grab your wine glasses and get clinky with it!
