The "Relentlessly Positive" Yvonne Young Clark – A Conversation with Carol Lawson
<p><br/><br/>A companion interview to Season 3 of <a href='http://www.lostwomenofscience.org'>Lost Women of Science</a>, this episode is about the trailblazing mechanical engineer Yvonne Young "Y.Y." Clark. Katie talks with Y.Y,'s daughter, Carol Lawson, about what it was like to be the daughter of such a brilliant -- and pragmatic -- woman.<br/><br/>YY has been nicknamed “The First Lady of Engineering,” because of her groundbreaking achievements as a Black female mechanical engineer. Season 3 of <em>Lost Women of Science</em> traces her trajectory, from her unconventional childhood interest in fixing appliances to civil rights breakthroughs in the segregated South; from her trailblazing role at historically Black colleges and universities to her work at NASA. What can YY teach us about what it means to be the first in a scientific field, especially as a Black woman in America?<br/><br/>In this episode, Carol talks about what Y.Y. was like as a mom, Y.Y.'s role model of a marriage, her penmanship standards, and her 1968 Firebird.<br/><br/><br/>Composer: <a href='https://andreaperry.tv/bio'>Andrea Perry</a><br/><br/>Artist: <a href='https://www.saatchiart.com/mimst?http://utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&kw=&utm_campaign=%5BB%5D_2140_ADL_Search_DSA_US&g_acctid=343-048-3320&g_campaign=%5BB%5D_2140_ADL_Search_DSA_US&g_campaignid=17659461963&g_adgroupid=138806213899&g_adid=614371703735&g_keyword=&g_keywordid=dsa-43585743766&g_network=g&gclid=CjwKCAjw2OiaBhBSEiwAh2ZSP_lyOTZiFPH8xOA6msnvu58P05xelCGajDpLEsdkTwNuL7yQ4WhIZBoCx34QAvD_BwE'>Traci Mims</a><br/><br/><a href='https://katiehafner.com/our-mothers-ourselves-podcast/'>Our Mothers Ourselves </a>is a production of Odradek Studios in San Francisco<br/><br/><br/></p><p><a href='https://katiehafner.com/our-mothers-ourselves-podcast/'>Our Mothers Ourselves</a> is an interview podcast that celebrates extraordinary mothers from all walks of life.

For Father's Day. Talmadge Everett King Sr.: "If Your Father Builds a Wooden House...."
<p><br/>Two years ago, to mark Father’s Day, I sat in the closet I’m sitting in now (which you can see only in your mind’s eye), and had an extraordinary conversation with Dr. Talmadge E. King, Jr., a world-renowned lung specialist who is dean of the Medical School at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. King and I talked about his father, Talmadge King Senior, who was born in 1922 in the segregated south. I loved our conversation, and it seems fitting to post the interview today, on June 19th, 2022. Mr. King, who died in 2018, would be 100 this year.<br/><br/>Talmadge Senior was so beloved a member of the community in Darien, Georgia that the town recruited him as the first Black police officer when the police force was first integrated.<br/><br/>He instilled in his five children a sense of doing better with each successive generation. He offered a simple metaphor: "If your father builds a wooden house, it's your responsibility to build a brick house." </p><p><a href='https://katiehafner.com/our-mothers-ourselves-podcast/'>Our Mothers Ourselves</a> is an interview podcast that celebrates extraordinary mothers from all walks of life.
