EP. 22: Monet’s Story – Archiving Black Lives

In this episode of Better to Speak: The Podcast, Kési (host and founder of Better to Speak) interviews Monet Lewis-Timmons, a Ph.D. candidate and African American Public Humanities (AAPHI) Fellow at the University of Delaware. 

Monet’s research focuses on Black women in the archive from the late 19th century to the early 20th century and uncovers the fragments of these archives to reveal the complexities of Black women's lives to make a larger intervention about Black women’s lived experiences across space and time.
