S2E43 Trust the Journey... The Dorothy Browns

Learn to Trust the Journey even when you don't Understand It this is a quote by Dorothy M Brown. In my search to find out who she is I found myself falling down the rabbit hole of google and wikipedia and Goodreads where I discovered another Dorothy Brown. Ms. Dorothy Lavinia Brown, an orphan from Nashville, a woman of color with no family, no support system, living in a South that did not give credence to the poor, to those of color or to women in general... And this Dorothy was all of these! But she was so very much more... She went to college, to medical school, became a woman doctor, became a state representative for Tennessee, became the first single black woman to adopt and child! She once said "I am proud to be a role model, not because I have done so much, but to say to young people it can be." The first African-American female surgeon in the South should be a role model to women every where... But that's my opinion, so check her out and decide for yourself!
