Sophia Danenberg | first African-American to climb to the summit of Mount Everest

from the archives series | 'Black Stories We Should All Know'

*about the archive series…..

I am still working on posting all of the ‘Black Stories We Should All Know’ on Substack as a collection/archive.

When I first started doing this, I had no idea it would grow so quickly and so fast. I was finding my way on Instagram.

In the beginning, when posting, I was adding music on all of the videos. Well, I can’t bring those videos here with the music because of copyright laws (and respect for the artists).
