Best Show Ever
I love doing this podcast with my sister. This week we talk about the 70s. You don’t want to miss this.
The mid 70s showcased the police drama on TV, the Jackson’s on the radio and TV and a new focus on black pride. The world was embracing the funky music but the resignation of President Nixon cast a shadow on the nation. Or did it? See what the Sistas remember from their early days.

Art of the Month
As African kingdoms begin to rise and fall, outsiders begin to creep in with eyes on the treasures throughout the land.
In 1200 Mali Empire rises under Sunjata Keita and after 1250 expands to the Atlantic coast.
In 1324 Mansa Musa, emperor of Mali, pilgrimages to Mecca
In 1413 Portuguese voyagers landed on the African Coast.
By 1444 the first African captives were sold in Europe.
Toby Green in Fistful of Shells wrote that medieval Europeans named African regions based on “commodities on offer for exchange…Ivory Coast, Grain Coast (modern Liberia) and the Slave Coast (between modern Benin and southwestern Nigeria).” Green said it became a continent thought of in terms of what could be extracted or consumed. Europeans were not the only ones who thought of the continent in that way, because trade routes to the middle east existed before the Europeans came.

In this adventure thriller, Connections, Sandy and her best friend found missing relatives, spied on cheating spouses and caught a few bail jumpers. This private investigator never imagined the bad guys would chase her.
Running for her life, Sandy Herrick discovered that God was the only one with her who wasn’t talking smack, trying to kill her or get into her pants. As she and her friends try to figure out who framed them, they all discover that there was more to each other than they thought they knew.
As evil forces closed in on them, they have to determine who they trust and what they believe about each other. Would this be enough to save them?
