Coming Out Of the Kitchen

Roxie and I sat down to talk about the events that have occurred during our tender years. Please remember that, after years of care for her mother Zelma, her mother passed away on April 13, 2023. This was recorded as Roxie is in the early stages of her grief for her mother. We hope to get together soon to discuss our opinions of the '70's, a pivotal period for women, women who STILL do NOT have equal rights in the United States of America's Constitution.

Sabrina Bonett is just an awesome lady, her story is incredible.. Like she went from a retail clerk to joining the Navy.. And to this day she just keeps giving back to our youth, to educate and direct them to the possibilities to become better citizens. She mentioned several organizations that she is involved with to assist our youth to find their paths in their lives. She is active in bringing diversity into every company that she works for AND we are working on creating a podcast that she can be a future podcast host on, which will allow me/us to bring more information to our listeners. So, as I explained earlier in my last podcast, my struggle with Long CV.... with a new host coming on board, I am hoping to get back on track to providing valuable information to our listeners. I was unable to link her valuable informational links to this podcast, but we all have smart phones and I hope yall can jot down the the groups that she has mentioned in this podcast and find out more information on them.... Notwithstanding, she will be co-hosting with me and I am slowly getting my strenght back so that maybe I can be better at posting links in the future..... I am just trying to keep up and share awesome content.

Three incredible African American Women that I chose to research and Discuss: Dr. Gladys West, Dr. Justina Ford and Henrietta Lacks are amazing.  I am thankful for Black History Month as it has given me pause to focus on African American Women, as well as ALL women, in my endeavor to learn more about, share information about the strong women in our country...... Who still don't Equal Rights in the Constitution of the United States of America.

I have podcasted about Sojourner Truth in the past, but I think I did a better job this time, with more research.  She was a Pioneer fighting for women's rights only to sadly pass away 37 years before women earned the right to vote.  And still today, 140 years after her death, women STILL do NOT have equal rights in the Constitution of the United States of America.

I was So excited to sit with Zelma and her daughter Roxie to listen as they shared their life story with Coming Out Of the Kitchen!  Lorine, as she sometimes likes to be called was 2 YEARS OLD when women won the Right to Vote!  She alive during about 8 of the last wars that the United States of America fought it.  EIGHT!  The Golden Age of Radio hit in the 1920's the decade of her birth, the same decade that TV's were getting off the ground.  So, in my opinion, it was an honor to sit with Miss Lorine and hear her story. 

I hope you enjoy as much as I did.  Please rate and review the Podcast so more people can find my podcast and hear her story.

Season 4 and I am still plugging along, just had a few bumps in the road, but I am back!  I have new artwork for the Show, a wonderful and extremely talented coworker created new artwork for the Podcast! Let me know what Ya'll think of it! 

Anchor is the platform that I use to share my Podcasts and While these next 2 Podcasts I don't mention Anchor, I will in the future, because they will pay me roughly $5 an episode and that's the only financial assistance I receive for my work and research. While it is sometimes annoying to hear the Anchor ad, it helps other Wanta be podcasts take a chance and start their own podcast and I get paid $5, lol. 

I feel like I will have a better podcast this season, I have separated my Coming Out Of the Kitchen podcast from my COOK'n Politics Podcast so you will no longer have to swipe past the Politics if you aren't ready to follow what our elected officials are doing. 

I hope ya'll will reach out to me and tell me how you think I am doing this year, and PLEASE, rate and review my podcasts so other listeners can find the podcast. 

Thanks Ya'll

I completely enjoyed my conversation with Jamie Fields, Director of Development at Lost and Found, hearing HERstory and learning about Lost and Found.

There are some glitches in this podcast and as I am not a professionally trained editor, here's a heads up.  Sometimes we talk with our hands, and maybe passion was in the conversation so there may be a few "thumps" in the audio that I couldn't edit out without losing the conversation..... The same with "chair farts", the noise made as you shift around in a leather chair...

Potty Word alert.... The B word was used maybe 3 times, I left it in as it goes to content and the passion of the speaker.

I really loved meeting, learning more about Jamie and the fascinating company she is blessed to work for, I hope you enjoy the conversation as well. If you or anyone you know can benefit from the Lost and Found services, Jamie can be reached at:

Honoring and incredible woman, Patsy Takemoto Mink, during Women's History Month. I am in Awe at the challenges she faced, her strength to face them, her amazing accomplishments.  She didn't let racism, male chauvinism, gender bias or dirty backroom tricks hold her back or stop her from achieving the goals she set out to accomplish.

Born in Hawaii, her father, a civil engineer, her mother a stay-at-home mom, Patsy set out into the world with the determination to accomplish all of her goals!

I had some glitches, along with my struggle to pronounce some names, and again, somehow Patsy became "Cathy", wierd.... but I have to say, I am so glad I stumbled upon Patsy Mink, she is someone I could only strive to be like.

This episode is about our Missouri Representative Vicki Hartzler.  An evangelical Christian, aka Mennonite, a 'family' Farmer who is running for retiring Missouri senator Roy Blunts seat.  Mo. Sen. Hawley has endorsed her.  

So, she is a woman who using her Christian values that she has had to change to fit her narrative, to allow her to make rules and laws that Missourians must follow, let's look at that.

side note: for some reason my Microphone recorded 'Cathy' several times when I said Vicki, and I tried to catch them all to reedit...so if I missed a few, 'Cathy' was supposed to say 'Vicki'.

Please, if you listen to podcasts, find: Ordinary equality..... scroll down and listen from the first episode she recorded.  If I could be 1/8th as good as K. Kelly... 

Anyway.  send me a note: COOK'n Politics FB page, or..... comingoutofthekitchenpod@gmail.com

I have attempted to incorporate a favorite song of ours by Buffalo Springfield into the podcast and when you get to the end of the podcast, I tacked on an unedited conversation we were having.

The only F Bomb in this Pod is in the title, and the one time she used it in the interview.  This is Tina's story, and I don't think she said it, nor I in the Pod, but we all have a story.  It makes us who we are, the Tina's journey in California and her perspective regarding why people do what they do, grounded me.  I thought I had empathy but Tina reminded me, it goes deeper.  We all have a journey, a challenge, pain to mask. Thank you, Tina.

Remember to reach out to me with comments, questions and requests for interviews, I promise I will get better at this with practice!

I met with Nigel to discuss Non Binary people as well as other LGBTQ people. I had questions and they graciously answered them. This is by far the longest Podcast I have recorded and while I could have cut it into two different segments, I chose to leave it long.  There was just so much to discuss, Nigel also graced us with some of his signing, I loved it and I am sure you will as well.

Nigel is a professional hair dresser and is starting a music career.  Reach out to Nigel at:

16. I met with Angie Dalton, the woman warrior of Off Grid Living, Farming, Homeschooling and Family.  This is a pleasant conversation of her background, a bit of military, and Off Grid life in Missouri.  Angie has a wonderful attitude, shares her Blessed life and way of leaving less "footprints" in our state.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..... I will say, there is one bit of conversation that I debated about leaving in, ultimately I left it in.  I was not there when she experienced this, I have my own opinions about the way she chose to frame the conversation, but this is her perspective.  

I am now off to record another Podcast.  Reach out to me comingoutofthekitchenpod@gmail.com, or FB me at coming out of the kitchen. 

I met with Pam at The Fountain Cafe, to discuss her journey from growing up in Fordland to buying her own restaurant.  Pam talked about her upbringing from her mom Gladys, her work ethic, raising children, buying a house and then the iconic Fountain Cafe in Fordland Missouri.  

Since we discussed some history of Fordland, I will add a little here.  Fordland, named after J.S. Ford a railroad official named Fordland in 1882.   Fordland is blessed to still have a Post Office in operation from 1882 and still going.  Fordland has the highest elevation in the area at 1604 feet above sea level and was home to a secret Air Force Radar station from 1952-1961.  

Our background music will be the sounds from her busy restaurant. 

My mission with these podcasts are to find women who are willing to sit down and talk about their life, the hurdles they face, overcome or go around, to get to where they are today.   

It was my intention to create a pod in honor of Juneteenth, but I was wrapping up edits on another Pod and well, time gets away.... Now we have a new Federal Holiday to celebrate.  In this Pod I not so quietly voice my displeasure that it took the Springfield News leader three days to run a story on it,  only to find myself embarrassed that it took me nearly a week to record, edit and upload a Pod about it.  I hope ya'll can enjoy this and maybe learn a little bit from it.

Freddie Keaton is a beef cattle farmer passionate about providing beef for your BBQ, Your supper, Your everyday meal.... AND  he is on a mission to educate the meat consumer, producer and the sale barn about how if we don't take action now...... your meat supply will be in peril....

Cass and Sam met to record another COOK 'N Politics Pod.  Most of the Podcasts I listen to are professional, background music, a lot of ads..... but we are still beginners, our background music will be Sam's 3 boys.  We are women, passionate about women's rights and the politics that govern us. Please, reach out and let us know, do you want to be a guest on our pod?  Do you want to voice your opinion about our Pod's?  comingoutofthekitchenpod@gmail.com.. Let us know your thoughts!

On this podcast Cass and Sam read thru the Tweets seen around the world that stoked an insurrection in our Capital.  Our deepest thoughts and prayers for the souls who lost their life due to the insurrection.

We are following southern Missouri news and discussing what we see.

This week we sat down with 3 teenage ladies to discuss some of the topics we have been covering on our podcast, to get their prospective on the topics, and then we left them alone with the Mic to have their own discussion.   August the 3 year old was with us and as much as I tried to edit him out, I could not get it all.  We are working on a plan about that.... The important thing I wanted to add is the book I referenced in this podcast.  It is: Shortchanged,  Why Women Have Less Wealth and What Can Be Done About It, by Mariko Lin Chang.  This is a fabulous book with loads of information.  We are working on an interview with a radio "jocky" as well as sending out invites to various other interviewees.  Thank You!

This week we met with Rachel From Harmony House to learn more about Domestic Violence... October is Domestic Violence Month and we wanted to share with our listeners a little bit of what we have learned.
