Ep102. The Oracle of Bronzeville & Sole Survivor

This week Kelley tells the story of Gwendolyn Brooks, a prolific writer who wrote poetry which honestly depicted the lives of black people in the mid-20th century and used her platform to help elevate other black artists. Then, Emily tells the harrowing tale of Isabel Godin des Odonais who trekked across a continent to be reunited with her husband, and nearly died trying.
