Broads You Should Know

Broadly Speaking 14: Black History Broads - Part 1


Listen Later

It's Black History Month, and thus the perfect reason for Sara and Chloe take a stroll through all of the incredible Black Broads we have learned about since the beginning of this pod!

We (briefly) revisit each Black Broad, from our very first, Madam CJ Walker, through activists who built the civil rights movement like Ella Jo Baker and Mary McLeod Bethune, to babes that won the west, like Stagecoach Mary, inventors like Sarah Goode, heroes like Chief Theresa Kachindamoto, and some of the greatest poets and feminists of our time, like Audre Lorde.

If you're looking to increase the breadth of your Black Broads History, this is a great episode to dip your toes into and discover the stories that pique your interest most; the stories of the women whose voices have been the most ignored and silenced by the white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy: black women.

A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules. Broads You Should Know is the podcast about the Broads who helped shape our world!
