Ep246. Madame Queen of Policy & Color Coded Piracy

The ladies are PISSED and here to talk about a couple of ladies who did not SIT DOWN or SHUT UP and GOT IT DONE! First, Emily tells the story of Stephanie St. Claire, a criminal queen pin in Harlem who used her ill-gotten gains to help financially support the black community. But when the Italian Mafia set their sights on her operation, it was all out war. Then, Kelley tells the story of Zheng Yi Sao, a highly organized pirate captain, terrorizing the South China Sea with brilliant efficiency. But when the Chinese government tried to put baby in a corner, they would face the full force of her wrath.
