To celebrate Black History Month we talk about Biddy Mason's amazing journey to freedom, entrepreneurship, and philanthropism. We discuss important inventors like Shirley Jackson, Alice H. Parker, the first "Queen of Drag" William Dorsey Swann, and the inventors of house music. Melissa also recounts her time as an elementary school Black History quiz bowl champion. 

We're donating a portion of our Patreon money this month to Black Girls Code
