Join in as hosts Lauren, Hannah and B dig into life during 1930s - 1940s Germany, and how a family rebelled against the Nazi Regime. Even more specifically, how one young woman (that's Sophie) had her own "Regina George"moment while do so.

Our host, Lauren, gives us her take on Cixi's life, putting it into terms B and Hannah can relate to - DRAMA! This is like Game of Thrones but in ancient China. Huddle around as we spill the tea!

Hey, friends! This week, Lauren brings us the life and times of one Ida B. Wells!

Picture this, you're a young black girl born into slavery in the 1860's in Mississippi. Childhood is tragedy after tragedy, and you're separated from your family at a young age by being sold off. Then, after you're emapncipated, your begin a career in investigative journalism and begin to publish pamphlet after pamphlet calling out the horrifying and brutal treatment/murder of Black men/women in your community. All of a sudden, you and your paper are a target! What does a woman do in this case? Well... luckily Ida knew :) I promise this has a happy-ish ending!
