February is Black History Month, and while some are trying to erase the historical contributions of women and minorities, we here at Tangential Inspiration are going to celebrate and honor them. We have a lot of inspiration coming your way. A story about how a backpacker started building schools in some of the poorest places on Earth, Black Inventors who made a tremendous impact, and a model who became a daring battlefield photographer. Lots to cover, so let's dig in!

Another week, and another episode chock full of inspiration! This episode does contain some adult subjects (not explicit), so it may not be the best episode to listen to if you have younger ears about.

Then we talk about the brave and bold Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, who has saved thousands of young women from a life as slaves during a brutal conflict in Africa. Finally, we talk about a young man who turned a shark attack into a mission. Come bask in the inspiration.

Hey look at that-- we got two in a row now. We are going to try to get back to our every Wednesday releases. This is a fun episode, even though it has a couple discussions about mental illness. The first story is about Aurikatariina, the self-proclaimed "best cleaner in the world", who uses cleaning houses to improve mental health. Then there is the amazing Nellie Bly, who practically invented investigative journalism, improved mental health care, traveled around the world and well, did not fit the mold of the women of the late 1800s. You will become a fan of Nellie Bly. Finally, got a couple of quick stories about marathons, that may just inspire you to run. Come have a listen and find something to inspire you.
