Linda Grace Morris: Baltimore Boomer Tales from the Hood
Baltimore was the place to be in the 1950s and 1960s, bustling with all the industry and social change about to come. For African Americans, it was a jobs magnet with all the major manufacturers. Those living in Turner Station and Sparrows Point, the company town built to host the Bethlehem Steel Company, had the highest per capita income for African Americans in the nation. Cherry Hill, the only planned community built for African Americans by the Federal Government, lifted many Baltimore Boomers into the middle class. This podcast walks down memory lane through the neighborhoods and good times--despite segregation--that those growing up there can never forget.

Selena and I became acquainted through a direct sales opportunity doing jewelry parties. It was a fun way to test our entrepreneurial spirit and meet like-minded women and men. That was 20 years ago, and we have remained friends. Selena is 20 years younger than I, and she has a joy for life and bringing people together. Most recently, she has established a women's network, and I wanted her to speak about her leadership journey. She has a unique way of sharing messages that women need to hear.
