After our long hiatus, we are BACK! On Season 3 Episode 2, we talk with Ms. Janie Mines '80 - you may have heard of her. She is not only the first African American woman to gradudate from USNA, but she's the author of No Coincidences - Reflections of the First Black Female Graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and she was selected as a USNA Distinguished Graduate in 2022. We were honored and thrilled to speak with and learn from Janie - and we are excited to share this episode with you all!

And as you listen, please forgive us for the amateur start of the episode - we had some tech issues that our in-house tech support had to address as we tried to start recording. Between that and our excitement over talking with Janie, we were nervous AND late, so don't laugh as we stumble our way through the intro ... and stick with us, because Janie elevates the discussion from the first moment. This discussion was fun, humbling, and unforgettable.
