He’s the reason we know calculus, can see the stars through a telescope, and have another famous man from history who was Childfree!

In the last of our episodes about reasons to be Childfree, we were inspired by a listener email. While everyone has their own reason, and there are plenty of them, this one fascinated us. As people who have never been pregnant, we've never had to consider what might happen if we couldn't do our jobs anymore. We're exploring different jobs that might not be something a pregnant person, or parent, should do. Let us know what job you have that might not suite a  person with children by emailing [email protected] or DM us @claimingzero

If you've ever flown and seen a female pilot, you have Bessie Coleman to thank. As the first African American and Native to earn an international pilot's license, Bessie was a trailblazer! During WWI, the stories of pilots and aircraft drew out a desire in her she never knew could be possible. Daliyce shares the fascinating, albeit short, life of the incredible Elizabeth "Bessie" Coleman.

This week Vanessa presents a less-common Reddit topic from r/Childfree. While not a lot of people had responses to it, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a whole group of people out there who don’t want any pets or creatures to have responsibilities for and that’s ok! The Childfree community is vastly unique and we’re here for all the different types of people it represents.
