Badass Women of America
This podcast is about the women in history who broke barriers and made history yet you probably have never heard of them. Join us each week for a new episode about a woman or women who fought in wars, were amazing explorers, were pioneers in aviation – women who weren’t in our history books. These were exciting, brave, adventurous women who helped shaped this country. Join me, Kit and my friend Sherlock, as we share the exciting stories of these women whom you will want to know. These are the Badass Women of America.

Do you want to know about extraordinary black women in the history of America?
Here's your chance. Phillis Wheatley proved herself to be a one-of-a-kind American extraordinaire.
Her journey starts in West Africa, is transported to Boston and then to London and back to Boston.
It's not a pretty story but it's a story of intelligence and creativity exalted and then squashed.
It's not an easy story but a story that must be heard because through all of it Phillis' poetry is still studied today.
We need to pursue our truth without expectation.
Join Kit and Sherlock for the incredible story of Phillis Wheatley
