For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics is filled with personal stories that bring to life heroic figures we all know and introduce listeners to some of those who’ve worked behind the scenes but are still hidden.

This audiobook tells their story.

Fearless Women tells the story of women who dared to take destiny into their own hands.

Elizabeth Cobbs gives voice to fearless women on both sides of the aisle, most of whom considered themselves patriots.
