To my fellow Intellects, we hope your Black History Month with all its glory and all its pride is off to a blickity blackity  black start. Y'all know this is one of our favorite times of the year because we do a deep dive ( as deep as the internet allows anyway) into the amazing stories of our people across the diaspora. This year we are focusing on Woman Warriors, this 2 part series will cover black women both in the physical and spiritual realm. Grab your popcorn and sit back and listen to some of the most fascinating stories of some of the legends within the African Diaspora. You won’t want to miss it. As always links are in the bio to reference where we are grabbing our information.
