A Dove Tale: Tasia, Blue and Liz  share the story of Viola Desmond: a Black Canadian self-made millionaire and activist.  Ms. Desmond opened her own beauty salons, beauty schools and sold her own hair care products.  What sounds like a horror movie opener: one night Ms. Desmond’s car broke down in an unfamiliar town so she decided to see a movie while she waited for her car to be fixed.  Learn how Ms. Desmond and Carrie Best (Ep. 11) intersect in this story of heroism and social justice!
