“She had such a short career, and yet did so much.” —Abena Ansah-WrightIn this episode of Carved in Ebony, Jasmine Holmes and Abena Ansah-Wright talk about Maria Stewart, an activist and abolitionist who was active in the 1830s. Stewart was born free in Hartford, Connecticut, spent several years as an indentured servant after her parents’ deaths, and ultimately became a writer, speaker, and teacher, using her influence to speak out against slavery and speak up for women’s rights. Stewart is also known for being the first woman in America to give a speech in front of a mixed audience of black and white men and women.Follow Jasmine Holmes     Twitter: https://twitter.com/JasmineLHolmes     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasmine.baucham      Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminelholmes/      Jasmine’s website: https://jasminelholmes.com Follow Abena Boakyewa-Ansah      Twitter: https://twitter.com/APBAnsah      Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abena.ansah Find Jasmine’s book at https://carvedinebonybook.com
