As I reflect on this year, there are many things that I am so grateful for. It has been a year filled with many responsibilities, deadlines, and accomplishments, such as several published articles, a finalized book manuscript, and podcast interviews. I am so grateful for a wonderful and busy 2024, and as the curtain closes on this year, I will be stepping away from all social media platforms to spend time with my most favorite people in the world. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi y’all! Check out my new article below featuring Bette Davis! She is arguably one of the most successful and prominent actresses during Hollywood’s Golden Age. The friend link below allows readers to view the article in its entirety for those who do not hold a Medium membership. Happy reading!

We are officially 6 months away from the publication of my book, African Women of the Ancient World-Queens, Consorts and Warriors! If you are interested in ancient history, women’s history, or all history in general, I hope you will give my book a read! It showcases several women from different parts of ancient Africa and their amazing contributions to the people they led, and at times, fiercely protected. I can’t wait for these women to make their way into the spotlight! Look to see my book on April 30, 2025 and check out the cover art below!

I’m excited to announce the publication of my newest article featuring the talented Barbara Stanwyck! She is the second installment in my actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and I must say that this actress truly stands alone. She was not considered a “traditional” Hollywood beauty, but her dedication to the quality of her performances is unquestionable. A woman of true grit but compassion for others around her, Stanwyck was a favorite with her fellow castmates and crew members. I hope you enjoy my article, “Barbara Stanwyck: The Orphan from Brooklyn.”
I have attached Medium’s Friend Link, allowing anyone to read the article, even if you do not have a membership. (For those of you interested though, a Medium membership is only $5.00 a month).

I am excited to announce that I am beginning a new article series featuring actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age! Not only will the articles highlight their sparkling careers in Hollywood, but they will also discuss different parts of their lives off of the silver screen.

I have made my decision regarding the first installment of this series, which will feature the beautiful Vivien Leigh!

My copy of The Historian’s Magazine Edition 17 arrived today! I had a great time researching Roxelana of the Ottoman Empire for my article, “The Concubine Who Changed Her Stripes.” Check it out!
