In this episode I interviewed Vashti DuBois, Executive Director and Founder of The Colored Girls Museum in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA. Vashti speaks on her background as a leader for numerous non-profit organizations and her path that led to opening the museum. She talks about the concept of the "ordinary-extraordinary" colored girl. As Vashti puts it, “The Colored Girls Museum really does exist […] to remind all of us, to remind myself that my ordinary is really good enough, it really is.” And that, “There’s almost a disdain for the ordinary anything, just like basic is not good enough.” Adding, “We do have this burden of always feeling as though we have to be fierce, we have to be fabulous, we have to be magical, we have to be strong, we have to be powerful.” The Colored Girls Museum opened in 2015 and has a new exhibit opening in September titled, "Urgent Care: A social Care Experiment."
