The ladies are kicking off black history month with two women who overcame insurmountable odds to become certified badasses! First, Emily covers Ruby Bridges, a 6-year-old girl who was just trying to go to school- but due to racist outrage, spent a year being escorted to school by U.S. Marshals. Then, Kelley tells the story of Ethel Waters, a dynamic artist who had a true rags to riches story, becoming one of the biggest stars of her time! Get ready to rage rage FUCKING rage because we're wining about herstory!
