Girlcents: Recent Episodes
Our two cents
Hi everybody. I am Claire. And I am Scarlett. Welcome to our podcast called Girlcents. Our show is created by us...and our mom, Katie... as a place where we can give you our "two cents." You know, the phrase that means giving our thoughts and opinions on what matters to us. When the girls asked to start this show, their dad and I thought it was the perfect way to reflect on growing up as a young girl and hear straight from them what is on their minds and what they are learning. Alright girls, let's dive in...
In this episode, Claire and Scarlett have a very special guest giving them words of wisdom. Madam CJ Walker was a VERY inspirational woman who also happened to be the first recorded female self-made millionaire. How better to learn more about her then to hear the family history from her great-great-granddaughter, A'Lelia Bundles.

However, you have to listen in for a surprise and to understand why this episode is one they will remember forever.
Even more sentimental is that this episode launches on January 31, 2023 on what would have been her 89th birthday.
The girls have often talked about how the shirts with quotes they wore as toddlers were an inspiration to the podcast idea. We have already ordered ones with our favorite Eva Kor quotes and we have posted them here: https://ourgirlcents.wixsite.com/girlcents/etsy-shop. If you too are interested in a blue shirt (her favorite color), the girls will make a donation for every Eva shirt purchased to CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center (https://candlesholocaustmuseum.org/), an organization she started in Terre Haute, Indiana.
