S6, E3 Herstory: Harriet Tubman - Childfree by Circumstance, Free by Conviction
Harriet Tubman is often remembered as a hero — but rarely discussed as a woman who lived child-free by circumstance.
In this episode, we explore Harriet Tubman’s life beyond the history books: her childhood in slavery, the traumatic injury that shaped her faith and resilience, her escape to freedom, and her fearless return south to lead dozens to freedom. We also dive into her marriages, her private life, her service during the Civil War, and why she never had biological children.
Her story highlights how legacy can be built through courage, community care, and purpose. Harriet Tubman didn’t raise children — she helped raise a nation toward freedom.
