    I enjoyed all of Karen Hunter’s podcasts, but the one about disco and The Bee Gees was wonderful. Took me back in time and it was great to hear others who enjoy disco. Keep up the good work!

Black-Owned: The Revolutionary History of Black Bookstores

I try to always confer with my husband and consider if it's a good move for our family before making choices about work.
