Episode 06_2018 Sheila Merriweather - a podcast by Ladies First

"I grew up in a small community, outside of Philadelphia. In my time you would only leave the house when you got married, for college, or in a pine box. So I convinced my grandmother that she let me go to New York, and I went, and I never came back." In Part I of this episode, Sheila Merriweather is talking about her life in New York, working two jobs, learning from friends, and how it feels being an African-American woman, now and then.
