In this episode, we explore the remarkable life of Josephine Baker — a woman who defied expectation at every turn.

Best known as a dazzling performer in 1920s Paris, Baker became one of the most famous entertainers in the world. But behind the glamour was a woman of extraordinary courage. During the Second World War, she worked with the French Resistance, using her celebrity status to gather intelligence against the Nazis.

Later in life, she became a powerful voice in the American Civil Rights Movement, speaking alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and adopting twelve children from around the world in what she called her “Rainbow Tribe.”

Join us as we discuss the artistry, bravery and enduring legacy of Josephine Baker — a true icon of the 20th century.
