In this episode, I explain where I’ve been and what you can expect this season! Tangible Voices is all about what we can gain from leaning into the stories of others. I hope this upcoming season is enjoyable, informative, and encouraging as I seek to answer an unexpected question through largely untold stories.

I’m back and excited to share next season’s content with you! (Also introducing bonus content!)

Love to all my people. Let’s meet some legends, now. A woman who took in the children of black families who had to work, and ended up raising 40 and holding hundreds more: Mother Hale.
A girl who couldn’t walk in childhood, but within 7 years was running in the Olympic games: Wilma Rudolph.
A girl who saved up pennies to buy a guitar, and went on to write some of America’s most popular folk music: Elizabeth Cotten.
All of these women started with next-to-nothing in their respective lines of work, and through their grit and sense of mission, succeeded, possibly influencing countless Americans along the way. This is: Something Out of Nothing.
As a bonus, I’m adding the unbelievable story of the civil rights giant you may not have heard about: a schoolteacher named Septima Clark. Her story is called “Everything”.

PERSEVERANCE. How many rejections can you handle before getting the yes that changes everything? When you get to where you want to be, how do you hold your space and help others get there? In this episode, let Eva Jessye tell you how her music kept her lights on and later lit up Broadway. Stand with Janet Collins at the barre as she goes from suffering utter disappointment at the age of fifteen, to dazzling the national stage. Walk the neighborhood with Bertha Knox-Gilkey as she proclaims tenants’ rights and dignity for all.
