If you didn't already know the month of March is Women's History Month. This month commemorates and encourages the study, observance, and celebration of the role of women in American History. Adding onto that, International Women's Day was celebrated on March 8, 2021. In this episode, we wanted to start a conversation and really learn more about Women's History in the US. Not only do we learn more about the past, but we also talk about both the issues and milestones we face in today's world. There is still so much work to be done.  Follow Us on IG: @grove.girls, @lalalyssalee, @a.kolomona, @brandievp_, @sarahjessicaa__ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brown-sugar-hour/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brown-sugar-hour/support

In this episode, the grove girls sit down, appreciate, and talk about the Hawaiian language. Not only that, they mention their thoughts on the exploitation of words like "Aloha" for mainland business, talk famous movies, 'Ōlelo & Pidgin words/phrases, and even (you guessed it) took a quiz. They continue to learn and understand the Hawaiian language and culture while asking and answering questions. These honest conversations are important to have and hear especially around friends and family. They hope every listener that tunes in is able to take something away from this episode and continue to spread awareness. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brown-sugar-hour/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brown-sugar-hour/support
