I am so glad to share with you my conversation with Nichole Hill of The Our Ancestors Were Messy podcast. Nichole and I talk about the history and value of Black newspapers and how we use them to make our shows. I had no idea there were so many!

I could ALWAYS use your help to make these incredible stories.

Yhane talks with Jana Naomi Smith creator of "Red for Revolution".

Harlem Queen is an award-winning Black historical fiction audio drama based on the true story of Madame Stephanie St. Clair, the bold, brilliant "Numbers Queen" who built a Harlem empire during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.

Written, produced, and directed by Yhane Washington Smith, an A'Leila Bundles Scholar at Columbia University, this five-season series brings Madame St. Clair's world to vivid life through original music, meticulous sound design, and a full cast of characters. Jazzy, glamorous, and unflinching about what it meant to be a Black woman in America in the 1920s.

As featured on ABC's primetime documentary The Story of Soaps. History this rich deserves to be heard.
