THE HAPPY HOUR #563 PART 2: LESSONS FROM THE BLACK WOMEN WHO SHAPED US WITH JASMINE HOLMES
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR:
Happy Friday friends! Today we are diving into Part 2 of my conversation with Jasmine Holmes. We’ve been discussing women from her book Carved in Ebony and learning about remarkable women who changed the lives of the people in their corner of the world. Today we cover two more women who couldn’t have come from more different backgrounds. Charlotte Forten Grimke, a born free woman from the north, and Maria Fearing, a born into slavery woman from the south, lived lives that remind us that God can use anyone in BIG ways!
Jasmine L. Holmes is an educator, research assistant, and the author of Carved in Ebony and Mother to Son. She creates public history resources for teachers and lifelong learners. Jasmine and her husband, Phillip, live in Jackson, Mississippi, with their three sons. I am so grateful for the work Jasmine is doing and the way she encourages us to remember our past. Her resources and books help us remember that God can use anyone no matter who they are, where they’re from, or what their past is.
Charlotte and Maria were women who faithfully followed God and made the difference with whatever they were given! I hope you enjoyed this series as much as I did! If you haven’t yet, make sure to go back and listen to Part 1 of this amazing conversation!
