This week the ladies' synergy is in full force as they both cover prominent black women who broke down barriers and generally kicked ass! While sipping on some face-kicking Lake Girl Pontoon Red wine, Emily starts off with the story of Elizabeth Jennings Graham a teacher and church organist who was already running late for church and then kicked off of a streetcar for being black. She turned her shitty experience into a movement to fight segregation on transit in New York. Then, Kelley covers a gal who both she and Emily should have known, legendary mathematician Katherine Johnson! Katherine fought for her place at the table and was played a central role of some of NASA's most pivotal missions! We also give a special shout out to physicist Hedwig Kohn (132 years young girl!) So grab your wine glasses and get clinky with it!
