In this week's episode, I chatted with Cheryl W. Brooks. She is an author, professional singer/songwriter, and editor. She introduces us to another Hidden Figure during Black History Month: Madame Sara Spencer Washington through her book Golden Beauty Boss: The Story of Madame Sara Spencer Washington and the Apex Empire’.
Tune in to hear her journey of how she learned about this hidden figure while researching her debut book, Chicken Bone Beach: A Pictorial History of Atlantic City’s Missouri Avenue Beach. Cheryl’s first book was nominated for a 2017 Literary Award with the Schomburg Center in New York City, used in classrooms at Purdue University, and referenced in The Oxford Handbook of American Folklore and Folklife Studies.
