In our ongoing series, This Is What Chicago Sounds Like, we feature the voices and people who contribute to our city’s rich cultural diversity. This month we celebrate women in Chicago who are doing incredible work in the city they love. In this episode, we hear from Ali Barthwell who is a writer, performer, teacher, and Co-Founder of Chicago's WakandaCon. Ali talks about her love of Chicago's lakefront, the diversity of the city, and her life at Second City.
