5 inspirational female role models from black history

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mary was born in the British colony of Jamaica and from an early age, she learned nursing and healing from her mother, who used traditional remedies and kept a boarding house for invalid soldiers. As a young woman, Mary explored the Caribbean, visiting Cuba, Haiti and the Bahamas all on her own - a bold and unusual step, especially for a woman of colour. In 1853, during the Crimean War, Mary wanted to enlist as a military nurse to help the wounded, but her application to the British War Office was refused. She did not let that stop her. She travelled to the Crimean Peninsula with a friend and set up a hotel and boarding house - the British Hotel - behind enemy lines. She used her savvy business skills to provide hot food, drinks and clothes for wounded soldiers. Mary bravely nursed soldiers on the battlefield as well as in the British Hotel. Her dedication to the servicemen was unmistakable - she formed a strong bond with the soldiers she helped. Many years later, when she faced financial troubles many of them banded together to raise money for her. On 30 June 2016, a statue of her was unveiled at St Thomas's Hospital in London, honouring her as a pioneer in her field. She is remembered as a brave and fearless leader!

NOTE: We welcome you to take the Challenge on your own, but we also offer a guided version of the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge that is done with a cohort on a monthly basis. You can sign up here.

Welcome to the Michigan League for Public Policy's 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge! We would like to thank Food Solutions New England, whose Challenge we have used as a model and adapted to highlight racial inequity and our related policy priorities here in Michigan.

Several years ago, the League made a decision to apply a racial equity lens to the anti-poverty work at the heart of our mission. The disparities in health, wealth and well-being that we seek to eradicate are largely a result of racism enshrined in public policy over the course of U.S. history. Today, we cannot hope to achieve our mission of economic security for all Michiganders without understanding the origins of the concept of race, how it influences us as individuals and as an organization, and how it functions to preserve inequity in our laws, institutions and systems.

We would like to thank the following partners for their knowledge, perspectives and guidance in putting the Challenge together:

Fay Givens, Choctaw/Cherokee, Executive Director of American Indian Services, Inc .

Dr. Kay McGowan , Choctaw/Cherokee, Cultural Anthropologist, Adjunct Professor at Eastern Michigan University

Dana Ashlock, Program Director, Jackson Community Foundation

Dr. Andre Fields , Associate Professor/Counselor, Grand Rapids Community College

History -Facts

Is it baffling to realize how racist and capitalistic the USA? Listen to Lettie share and provide resources that will help you continuously grown in your racial justice journey.

Connect the past to the present with Lettie

I can't say enough about Lettie's podcasts and how much I've learned from her. As an Historian, Lettie brings facts to her storytelling. Each podcast is an adventure not only in learning but imagining the excavating that had to have been done to obtain the details she brings. She has done her homework so much so that you can practically feel yourself in the period, place and or event she's describing. And then boom, she ties in the past to the present.

Lettie not only helps us understand the ways in which racism and white supremacy have prevailed in the United States for centuries, she leaves you motivated to continue learning and to dig deeper into how we can end racism.

Wherever you are on your journey of understanding white supremacy, Lettie is an excellent teacher. If you're new, she's a great place to start. If you know a thing or two or five, she's got a lot to teach. She also does excellent collaborations. I highly recommend following her on Instagram at Sincerely.Lettie where you'll have access and insight into her teaching, her inspirations, her resources and her intellect. The only thing you'll wish for is more time to explore the world she opens for us.

Best History Teacher Out There!

Lettie Shumate is the historian I always wished I had the privilege of learning from in school. The way she connects the dots between our past and present is unmatched and life altering. Lettie discussions often highlight the need for change within ourselves and our society through the examination of the similarities between historical events and the present system of oppression that are being upheld. I am so grateful for her wisdom that inspires me to actively work towards being anti-racist. A MUST LISTEN PODCAST!
Also, you can support Lettie Shumate's on Patreon✨

The podcast

I know a few things to be true. (1) We are all simply trying to live a fully expressed life, where we can freely experience the full range of our humanity. Which leads me to (2) While we all want that....the society we are currently living in has been founded and built on a bedrock of inequity and division!

Each episode I plunge into complex yet candid conversations with aaaaaaaamazing guests with the hopes of finding a way forward in community.

It's like being a fly on the wall to a really lit coffee date but from the comfort of your own home.

So get cozy, get comfy and dive in with me!
