Felicia Harris-Williams has blended her passion for tea, holistic healing and wellness into the perfect brew. The mother of three, and volunteer for the Philadelphia Commission for Women, started Gynger Tea House in 2015 after a major health scare that required open heart surgery. She uses her brand to fight racial inequities in health care by educating and empowering other Black women and advocating for their wellness. “I'm privileged to be able to have a platform to advocate for women, to raise these concerns, to share resources about things that can save our lives,” she says.

Host Lloyd Freeman is joined by two guests to discuss the impact of the United States' first black woman Supreme Court Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson. On this episode Adara L. Combs, Esq., and Kia Ghee detail their experiences of watching the historic confirmation hearings. Combs serves as the Victim Advocate of Philadelphia and, as leader of the Office of the Victim Advocate, she works to amplify the voices of victims and co-victims of crime in Philadelphia. Ghee is lifelong Philadelphian and seasoned social justice advocate. In June 2021, she was appointed by Mayor Jim Kenney as the Executive Director for Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations, the City's official civil rights agency. The conversation highlights how inspirational the nomination and subsequent confirmation of Brown-Jackson is for minorities, and specifically black female attorneys.
