Episode 56: Elizabeth Jennings

from Happiness through Creating · host Brian Barlow

In this episode of Happiness Through Creating, we tell the often-overlooked story of Elizabeth Jennings, a young Black woman whose quiet refusal to leave a segregated streetcar in 1854 helped set lasting change in motion. Her act was not a protest by design, but a choice to live in alignment with her dignity—and that choice became creative.We explore how creation often begins in ordinary moments, how courage can be a source of happiness, and how meaningful change is built through alignment rather than permission. Elizabeth Jennings reminds us that happiness is not passive or comfortable—it is created through agency, contribution, and the refusal to disappear.You can learn even more by following on: Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/briancbarlow⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/briancbarlow/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/briancbarlow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.creatorsopposition.com/⁠⁠
