Your Nonfiction Friends are celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth in every episode this month, starting with #biographies! The #nffriendscast each chose two #historical figures to cover. Rebecca chose famous #singers, Billie Holiday (bottom left) and Ella Fitzgerald (top right), and Josh chose famous #astronauts, Mae Jemison (top left) and Guion Bluford (bottom right)! How did their stories begin? What walls did they break? Find out anywhere #podcasts are heard!

My haul from @newburycomics today. All vinyl was 25% off. Cher and Stevie were used, the others were new. I wanted the Platinum Sleeping Beauty Blu-Ray for the HD bonus features that didn’t make it onto the Diamond and it was only $6. And the Faith Hill CD was like new for only $1! #NewburyComics #Boston #vacation #music #movie #movies #Disney #DisneyMovie #DisneyMovies #CD #CDs #FaithHill #Vinyl #vinylgram #vinyligclub #record #records #LP #LPs #Cher #BillieHoliday #StevieNicks #JanetJackson #JoniMitchell #diva #goddess #legend

Since I can’t go back in time, collecting memorabilia is my way of time traveling! Check out my latest addition to my growing collection: a 1948 unpublished photo of Billie Holiday with radio DJ Buddy Black in my hometown, Kansas City! Not only am I holding jazz and black history in my hands, I’m holding a piece of Kansas City history as well! @billie.holiday @vintageblackglamour @mygranddaddyscloset @insidejazzkc @goodmantheatre @americanjazzmuseum @Billieholidayofficial
