Continuing KBOO's long standing tradition of special programming to honor International Women's Day, this year we have 35 hours lined up to inform, inspire and celebrate women.  All programs during this special time are produced by women, with all women tech crews, too.  There will be a mix of music programming, including a couple of blocks of live music on Friday, and information and news, too!  It all starts Thursday evening at 7 pm, and runs through Saturday morning at 6 am. Pt. 2

Hosts Patricia Welch, O.B. Hill, and Emma Jackson Ford speak with Cheryl Waiters. In her inspiring memoir, "Blood, Sweat, and High Heels," Cheryl Waiters chronicles her struggles and victories as an African American female working to overcome gender and racial biases in the male-dominated field of construction. Set against a backdrop of racial tensions, civil unrest and social movements, Waiters takes readers along on her life journey through the years of JFK, Martin Luther King, Women’s Liberation and Black Panther Movements. Cheryl Waiters has been a professional electrician for the past twenty-two years. She topped out as a journeyman and holds the distinction of working on some of America’s most important landmarks.
