Back for a bonus episode! Join me as I talk with Danyel Smith, author, writer, and host of the Black Girl Songbook podcast about her brand new book, Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop!  We discuss the impactful careers of three of the many women highlighted in the book- Diana Ross,  Aretha Franklin, and Stephanie Mills. Later, we talk about Danyel's connection to these three women, and get up close and personal with her about the music she loves!   Buy Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop: https://rb.gy/ukad6d Instagram: @THEVIXENMEMOIRS Join the Book Club: WWW.THEVIXENMEMOIRS.COM Donate: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thevixenmemoirs Music: https://soundcloud.com/vhslogos  Submissions: [email protected]
