Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Most celebrities are lucky to be known for one big thing. But some are famous for different things, across multiple generations. To me, those are the icons.

And one of those people is Eartha Kitt. A lot of millennials recognize her as the voice of Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove, that animated movie with the llama?

But Eartha was so much more than a cartoon villain. She was a civil rights activist, an award winning singer, dancer, actor, teacher and author. And on top of all that, a sex icon!

Learning about her story just made me even more obsessed with her. So let’s get into it. Welcome to the Dark History of the one, the only… Eartha Kitt.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out. IDK. lol: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/139701263-bailey
