Thank you for your hard work to bring these to us.
Well done... again. ❤
Every Saturday I am wrapped in the warm escape, reluctant to leave, yet somehow leave nourished in my humble existence.
Thank you for creating a respite.
Happy Birthday, Yan.🎉

Hello, my wonderful mythic men and women. I hope you’re having a good week, and if it has been a difficult one, I hope this story gives you a place to sit for a while.
Nancy Cunard refused almost every role she was given heiress, daughter, wife, muse, scandal, cautionary tale. Beneath the spectacle was a woman trying to turn private rebellion into public war.
What stayed with you most: the childhood at Nevill Holt, Paris, Henry Crowder and Negro, Spain, or the final years? And who would you like to see covered next?
Thank you, truly, for giving these long stories your time. An 80-minute biography asks a lot in a world built for distraction, and I never take that attention lightly. Your watching, commenting, sharing, and support through sponsors like June’s Journey help keep this channel independent, detailed, and committed to telling the full story not the headline, not the scandal, not the fifteen-minute summary, but the life beneath it. This channel and these stories would not live without you. So thank you from the bottom of my heart in helping to get these stories told and these women's lives remembered.
Wherever you are tonight, thank you for being here. Today is my son's birthday so forgive me for not being as available this week. But I love and miss you all and hope that wherever you are that you feel calm, warm and safe. ❤
