12.5 million Africans were brought to the Americas between the 1500s and 1800s. 1.8 million died along the way. More than 40 countries are involved in the commerce of human beings.

So, did you do this week's homework assignment? If you listened to episodes one and two of National Geographic Explorer Tara Roberts’ podcast Into The Depths, move to the top of the class!

In this episode, Besties Angella and Leslie talk about what it means to seriously pursue a calling with a long runway (like leaving a good job), how friends push you toward your “big yes,” and why so many of us quit when the first few tries don’t deliver results. We look forward to hearing from you.
