Coming Out of the Kitchen

Roxie and I sat down to talk about the events that have occurred during our tender years. Please remember that, after years of care for her mother Zelma, her mother passed away on April 13, 2023. This was recorded as Roxie is in the early stages of her grief for her mother. We hope to get together soon to discuss our opinions of the '70's, a pivotal period for women, women who STILL do NOT have equal rights in the United States of America's Constitution.

Sabrina Bonett is just an awesome lady, her story is incredible.. Like she went from a retail clerk to joining the Navy.. And to this day she just keeps giving back to our youth, to educate and direct them to the possibilities to become better citizens. She mentioned several organizations that she is involved with to assist our youth to find their paths in their lives. She is active in bringing diversity into every company that she works for AND we are working on creating a podcast that she can be a future podcast host on, which will allow me/us to bring more information to our listeners. So, as I explained earlier in my last podcast, my struggle with Long CV.... with a new host coming on board, I am hoping to get back on track to providing valuable information to our listeners. I was unable to link her valuable informational links to this podcast, but we all have smart phones and I hope yall can jot down the the groups that she has mentioned in this podcast and find out more information on them.... Notwithstanding, she will be co-hosting with me and I am slowly getting my strenght back so that maybe I can be better at posting links in the future..... I am just trying to keep up and share awesome content. email questions, suggestions, ideas and comments to: comingoutofthekitchen@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coming-out-of-the-kitchen/message

Three incredible African American Women that I chose to research and Discuss: Dr. Gladys West, Dr. Justina Ford and Henrietta Lacks are amazing. I am thankful for Black History Month as it has given me pause to focus on African American Women, as well as ALL women, in my endeavor to learn more about, share information about the strong women in our country......

I have podcasted about Sojourner Truth in the past, but I think I did a better job this time, with more research. She was a Pioneer fighting for women's rights only to sadly pass away 37 years before women earned the right to vote. And still today, 140 years after her death, women STILL do NOT have equal rights in the Constitution of the United States of America.

I was So excited to sit with Zelma and her daughter Roxie to listen as they shared their life story with Coming Out Of the Kitchen! Lorine, as she sometimes likes to be called was 2 YEARS OLD when women won the Right to Vote! She alive during about 8 of the last wars that the United States of America fought it. EIGHT! The Golden Age of Radio hit in the 1920's the decade of her birth, the same decade that TV's were getting off the ground. So, in my opinion, it was an honor to sit with Miss Lorine and hear her story. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Season 4 and I am still plugging along, just had a few bumps in the road, but I am back! I have new artwork for the Show, a wonderful and extremely talented coworker created new artwork for the Podcast! Let me know what Ya'll think of it! Anchor is the platform that I use to share my Podcasts and While these next 2 Podcasts I don't mention Anchor, I will in the future, because they will pay me roughly $5 an episode and that's the only financial assistance I receive for my work and research. While it is sometimes annoying to hear the Anchor ad, it helps other Wanta be podcasts take a chance and start their own podcast and I get paid $5, lol. I feel like I will have a better podcast this season, I have separated my Coming Out Of the Kitchen podcast from my COOK'n Politics Podcast so you will no longer have to swipe past the Politics if you aren't ready to follow what our elected officials are doing. I hope ya'll will reach out to me and tell me how you think I am doing this year, and PLEASE, rate and review my podcasts so other listeners can find the podcast.

Maybe I was too harsh on Nancy and Grassley.... I have enormous respect for Nancy I just..... And I attempted to break down the stats on what happened in Missouri's 2022 General election. It's not a name dropper, it's what I wanted to say after I looked at a district-by-district review of who won and who tried to win. And as an after thought, a PS... if you will, I felt I had to include the lasted Authoritarian republicans attack on our states ability to become or stay educated..... So, before I forget, we are allowed 30 days to write to the Secretary of State to voice our thoughts on his latest attack on our libraries, the place that guarentees everyone access to self-educate.

It has taken me awhile to get this one uploaded. Audio issues and I'm still not sure I like the sound. In this Pod I discuss the Gov Parson Tax Law and I veer off into the world of China owning our farmlands and meat processing centers leading to Price Gouging of Americans regarding Meat. I felt like it was important to include the China issue because the Missouri Republicans who along with Gov Parson championed this bill/law all the while agreeing to leave foreign owners of Missouri farms and Meat Processing Centers in the law, allowing foreign companies to receive Missouri Tax benefits at the expense of Missouri Taxpayers. And I discuss the Amendments on the Nov. 8th election ballot, complete with my opinions.

I met with Ginger recently to get an update on her campaign for Missouri House District 156. We discussed local issues as well as what she has been doing lately with her campaign. Ginger's opponent, the incumbent Brian Seitz, Co-sponsored two devastating Bills in Missouri which are now Missouri Law. 1. The Abortion trigger ban that included no exceptions for ectopic pregnancies, which gave us national attention and Brian had to be schooled on what ectopic pregnancies are. This was amended out of the bill. 2. The school voucher program for Missouri students who live in cities with a population of 30,000 or more. Branson has a population of 12,883 and a poverty level of 22.3%, according to the census. Hollister, another District 156 town has a population of 4,564 and a poverty level of 11.8% (2021 census). I am not sure why Mr. Seitz would co-sponsor and education bill that would take more money away from District 156 school budgets and yet none of the children in District 156 qualify for the private schools. With the General Election mere weeks away Ginger Witty can always use your assistance to win this election. Please reach out to Ginger, to see how you can assist her. witty for156@gmail.com FB: Witty for 156 Ginger is also on Twitter and has a website through Upballot, a profile on Ballotpedia You can contact me at: comingoutoftheckitchenpod@gmail.com Please Rate and Review my podcast so more people can find it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coming-out-of-the-kitchen/message

Don't let this petite retired teacher fool you, she has worked across the aisle with school students and has the knowledge to know how to work across the aisle in Jefferson City. Missouri has been losing the progressive, let's go forward and build a better state! Our state has been losing sane, progressive representatives and senators since 1992! For 30 years, Forward thinking, progressive seeking Democrats have been silently losing legislative seats and now, here we are.... Losing Women's right to private health care, men can still enjoy theirs. Losing funding for public schools so that even the MOST Rural, low populated towns in Missouri will pay taxes so that the elite can attend private and charter schools...

I completely enjoyed my conversation with Jamie Fields, Director of Development at Lost and Found, hearing HERstory and learning about Lost and Found. There are some glitches in this podcast and as I am not a professionally trained editor, here's a heads up. Sometimes we talk with our hands, and maybe passion was in the conversation so there may be a few "thumps" in the audio that I couldn't edit out without losing the conversation..... The same with "chair farts", the noise made as you shift around in a leather chair... Potty Word alert.... The B word was used maybe 3 times, I left it in as it goes to content and the passion of the speaker. I really loved meeting, learning more about Jamie and the fascinating company she is blessed to work for, I hope you enjoy the conversation as well.

This podcast was recorded in May 2022, and this posting was delayed due to my back injury flareup. I was excited to meet Gail, as I had been following her on FB. It was an impromptu meeting, so I didn't have notes or questions lined up to discuss with her. This conversation was "off the cuff", however, I completely enjoyed meeting and discussing her background and the political climate we are in these days. Seriously, I am trying to work on my ADHD interruptions, but I think we had a lively, informative and candid discussion about our political atmosphere as we see it these days.

I struggled with a name for this Podcast. I feel blessed that Battlefield MO retired teacher and new Author, Debra Waldon Davis drove all the way out to my farm to Co-Host this one with me. What can I say? Missouri is hell bent on making Missouri the Dumb and Dumber state, so much for the Show Me State. In this Podcast Debra and Cass discuss the books that the Nixa Mo School is now tasked to review and restrict and or ban 16 books. And while I state numerous times that I was unable to read the books prior to the Podcast, I checked with 2 online book review sites to get the gist of what the books are about. And while discussing the list of books, Debra and I created an acronym for the group of People, organizations, churches or cults who felt that these 16 books were just beyond acceptable to be see, heard about and or read, 17 POCC (pronounced poke).

Honoring and incredible woman, Patsy Takemoto Mink, during Women's History Month. I am in Awe at the challenges she faced, her strength to face them, her amazing accomplishments. She didn't let racism, male chauvinism, gender bias or dirty backroom tricks hold her back or stop her from achieving the goals she set out to accomplish. Born in Hawaii, her father, a civil engineer, her mother a stay-at-home mom, Patsy set out into the world with the determination to accomplish all of her goals! I had some glitches, along with my struggle to pronounce some names, and again, somehow Patsy became "Cathy", wierd.... but I have to say, I am so glad I stumbled upon Patsy Mink, she is someone I could only strive to be like.

So, she is a woman who using her Christian values that she has had to change to fit her narrative, to allow her to make rules and laws that Missourians must follow, let's look at that. side note: for some reason my Microphone recorded 'Cathy' several times when I said Vicki, and I tried to catch them all to reedit...so if I missed a few, 'Cathy' was supposed to say 'Vicki'. Please, if you listen to podcasts, find: Ordinary equality..... scroll down and listen from the first episode she recorded. If I could be 1/8th as good as K. Kelly...

The only F Bomb in this Pod is in the title, and the one time she used it in the interview. This is Tina's story, and I don't think she said it, nor I in the Pod, but we all have a story. It makes us who we are, the Tina's journey in California and her perspective regarding why people do what they do, grounded me. I thought I had empathy but Tina reminded me, it goes deeper. We all have a journey, a challenge, pain to mask. Thank you, Tina. Remember to reach out to me with comments, questions and requests for interviews, I promise I will get better at this with practice!

This is a pleasant conversation of her background, a bit of military, and Off Grid life in Missouri. Angie has a wonderful attitude, shares her Blessed life and way of leaving less "footprints" in our state. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..... I will say, there is one bit of conversation that I debated about leaving in, ultimately I left it in.

I met with Pam at The Fountain Cafe, to discuss her journey from growing up in Fordland to buying her own restaurant. Pam talked about her upbringing from her mom Gladys, her work ethic, raising children, buying a house and then the iconic Fountain Cafe in Fordland Missouri. Since we discussed some history of Fordland, I will add a little here. Fordland, named after J.S. Ford a railroad official named Fordland in 1882. Fordland is blessed to still have a Post Office in operation from 1882 and still going. Fordland has the highest elevation in the area at 1604 feet above sea level and was home to a secret Air Force Radar station from 1952-1961. Our background music will be the sounds from her busy restaurant. My mission with these podcasts are to find women who are willing to sit down and talk about their life, the hurdles they face, overcome or go around, to get to where they are today. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coming-out-of-the-kitchen/message

It was my intention to create a pod in honor of Juneteenth, but I was wrapping up edits on another Pod and well, time gets away.... Now we have a new Federal Holiday to celebrate. In this Pod I not so quietly voice my displeasure that it took the Springfield News leader three days to run a story on it, only to find myself embarrassed that it took me nearly a week to record, edit and upload a Pod about it. I hope ya'll can enjoy this and maybe learn a little bit from it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coming-out-of-the-kitchen/message
