Could I write into the void every week for 52 weeks? Turns out I could! Happy newsletter anniversary🎉 When I started I was doing research full-time, visiting archives around the world, and taking you with me along the way. We’ve shared some good and not-so-good times together, but each week we learned something new. Now, I’ve launched the podcast 100 Historic Black Women You Should Know By Election Day and I have an announcement for you 🌼 I’m hosting my first live event!! I’m so excited to be joined by a fellow Harvard alum, Kristin Turner, to discuss Justice Jackson’s new memoir “Lovely One.” Have you seen the cover?

Feb 17 The number one thing people think I do as a historian is choke on the dust in the back of a Victorian building as I look for a long-forgotten document with a clue to one of the world’s greatest mysteries. In some ways, I do feel like Enola Holmes (Sherlock Holmes’ sister) when I am in… Read full story Help, I fell down the stairs of a tube station May 11 I missed a step while walking down the stairs and fell in the middle of a crowded tube station last week. The thin flesh that covers my knee was able to break the fall, preventing my full-on collapse face-first on the floor of the station. I didn’t have much time to process the sharp pain because immediately people stopped to ask me if I was okay or if… Read full story Listen 🎧: take off your shoes and dance with me Aug 3 Read full story This isn’t goodbye… It’s see you later! Now that I am in full-time dissertation writing mode, I’ll have to reduce the frequency of this newsletter! Don’t worry, you can still find me chatting away on Threads and producing videos on YouTube. There are a lot of amazing things in the works because of your support–stay tuned! With care, Hi, I’m Shae! I’m a doctoral candidate in History at Harvard University. I am also a writer weaving together storytelling, literature, primary sources, and whatever else catches my attention to bring us all closer to understanding this thing we collectively call life. This is a digital classroom, a TED Talk stage, and sometimes just a spot in a coffee shop where two friends gather. Whatever this space is for you, I’m glad you’re here 🤓.
