During the Civil War, a group of remarkable Black women infiltrated enemy lines, gathered critical intelligence, and shaped the course of history — all while being overlooked and underestimated. In this episode, we dive into the stories of three unsung heroines: Mary Elizabeth Bowser, the spy with a photographic memory who infiltrated Jefferson Davis’ home; Mary Louveste, the seamstress who risked her life to deliver naval secrets to the Union; and Susie King Taylor, the battlefield nurse who used her literacy and courage to pass vital information between camps.

These women didn’t just witness history; they changed it. But how many of their names are in our history books? And what if they were given the recognition they truly deserved?

Join me, King Kurus, as we uncover the hidden legacies of these fearless women and ask — how would our understanding of heroism change if we knew their full stories?

Stay blessed, stay informed, and keep making history.
