Welcome to the Breaking Barriers series of our A Little Louder Now podcasts. During this series, Alex and Alicia shine a light on two trailblazing women in a different themed topic each month. These two take their fangirling seriously and are excited to share about women who broke down barriers and reached back to pull up the next generation. This month, we celebrate Black History month. In keeping with that, our theme is Queens of Black History. Our featured Queen of Black History for this episode is Toni Morrison. Ms. Morrison is one of my most celebrated writers in American history. We celebrate her contributions to literature including her vital work in bringing black literature into the mainstream. Take a listen!
