My Mom Hates to Read

Sit down and take a different look at feminism through the lens of Emma Goldman's life, an anarchist, advocate, and outspoken woman in a time of global social empowerment. Mom and Savannah discuss the journey of Emma Goldman, and key events in her life that kept her seeking justice and championing those seeking social reform. We hope you enjoy!

On this week's episode, Mom and Savannah talk about the development, success, and attack of a Black Community in Oklahoma - known as the Greenwood District, or, Black Wall Street. Hear about the pioneers of the Greenwood District, the conditions that made this Black Community see economic triumph in the midst of segregation, and the night of violence that destroyed this beloved community. Grab your mom or cat or stress ball and listen up! 

Back to our regular scheduled programming! On this week's episode Mom and Savannah talk about the one and only, true powerhouse, Margaret Thatcher. For this episode we learn about the legacy of Britain's first female Prime Minister, and sip on her favorite drink. We hope you enjoy it!

One last spooky episode before Halloween is here! This week Mom and Savannah discuss an example of early American folklore, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Okay, this is one of the very few Savannah picks we will feature on this show, but she just had to insist on October-themed episodes to help everyone prepare for Halloween! No regrets though because we get to hear more from Mom... and we love Mom! So grab your pups and kitties and join our little group for this spooky episode of My Mom Hates to Read!
