As we celebrate Black History Month, “Midlife-A-Go-Go the podcast!” is honoring unsung heroines by profiling a few black women in history whose names may not be at the front of your mind or in our history books, but their footprints and their legacies lives on.
When I began researching for this episode, I wanted to specifically shine a spotlight on black women who did remarkable things a little later in life. Each of the women profiled today lived full lives in their own way, and each highlight that I focused on was done by a midlife woman.
I hope you’ll join me in celebrating the lives of these women and help to ensure that their story continues.
