I AM SHIRLEY MIN.

THANKS FOR TUNING IN.

>> I'M REGINA MITCHELL.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I USED TO LOVE GOING TO LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC JEALOUS GOD.

>> BOYS TO MEN.

>> BUT THE CITY'S FASHION PAPER IS ALSO TAKING OF.

>> A FEW YEARS AGO, A LOCAL RAPPER WORE A LOCAL DESIGNER TO THE GRAMMYS.

THERE IS A PICTURE OF HER WITH THE DESIGNER WHEN SHE WAS HERE ON WHYY.

>> IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IF YOU SEE ME WITH IT, DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

[LAUGHTER] >> NOW A PHILLY CROCHET INFLUENCER IS MAKING HEADLINES AND MAKING A NAME FOR HERSELF IN THE FASHION WORLD, GETTING NATIONAL ATTENTION, AND CATCHING THE EYE OF SOME CELEBRITIES.

♪ >> I LEARNED HOW TO CROCHET WHEN I WAS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD.

IT WAS A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE.

I WAS SENT AWAY FROM MY FAMILY FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WHILE WE COULD DO WAS CROCHET OR WATCH THE NEWS.

WHEN YOU ARE 12 YEARS OLD, THE NEWS IS NOT INTERESTED.

SO I LEARNED HOW TO CROCHET.

♪ THE FIRST DAY IT WAS COOL.

I HAD FIVE ORDERS.

NEXT DAY I HAD 10 ORDERS.

DAY AFTER THAT, 20 ORDERS.

[LAUGHTER] IT WAS SOMETHING.

MY WHOLE PURPOSE WAS TO MAKE CROCHETING FASHION.

I LITERALLY CHANGED THE WHOLE GAME JUST BY STRINGING THROUGH MY DREAMS.

I WAS MAKING THE LINE FOR THREE YEARS BY MYSELF.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE COLOR STAY, SO I OUTSOURCED THE YARN.

WHEN MY YARN WAS ACTUALLY ARRIVING, THE PANDEMIC WAS STARTING, AND I HAD BROKEN MY FOOT.

SO I WAS, LIKE, HOW CAN MY CUSTOMERS COME TO ME WITHOUT ME BEING THERE?

THE FIRST WEEK WE DID, LIKE, $1000 IN SALES.

NOW WE ARE IN FOUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

HERE AND THEN THREE MORE.

♪ INSTAGRAM IS MY FAVORITE TOOL.

MY GIRL WAS TO GIVE CARDI B MY PIECES, BECAUSE SHE WAS A FASHION INFLUENCER.

HOW CAN I GET CARDI B?

I SAID I WOULD GO TO INSTAGRAM -- CAN Y'ALL GET ME CARDI B'S ATTENTION?

SHE SAID CAN YOU MAKE ME A PIECE BEFORE THURSDAY?

I WAS UP ALL NIGHT MAKING HER THREE PIECES -- A BATHING SUIT OUT FEET, AND A DANCE OUTFIT.

SHE PUT THE PIECE ON LINE AND TAGGED ME.

MY INSTAGRAM WENT CRAZY.

WHEN I MET HER, SHE SAID, HEY, I AM CARDI B. I SAID GIVE ME A HUG.

[LAUGHTER] IT WAS MY FAVORITE MOMENT, IF YOU ASK ME.

I HAVE MADE PIECES FOR MEGAN THEE STALLION, DREW BARRYMORE.

IT WAS CROCHET DESIGNS.

THE COLOR WAS YELLOW.

♪ I LIKE MAKING STUFF THAT IS CUSTOM-MADE.

I WANT IT TO STAND OUT, AND YOU WANT TO WEAR IT MORE THAN ONCE.

I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE DOING WITHOUT CROCHETING.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR IT, BECAUSE I BELIEVE GOD PUT ME THERE FOR A REASON.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS SPECIAL.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU CAN TOUCH AND HOW FAR YOU CAN GO.

SHIRLEY: A NEW CHILDREN'S GROUP IS SHOWING GIRLS THAT WOMEN CAN BUILD HOUSES TOO.

ARTS AND CULTURE REPORTER PETER, COVERED THE STORY FOR WHYY ONLINE AND ON THE RADIO.

HERE IS PR TO TELL US ABOUT IT I DID.

>> A STORY ABOUT THIS PICTURE BOOK, AND IT SHOWS YOU HOW A HOUSE IS BUILT FROM DESIGNING IT, POURING THE FOUNDATION, FRAMING THE WALLS, ALL THAT STUFF, AND IT IS ALL DONE BY WOMEN CONTRACTORS, WOMEN BUILDERS BUILT THIS HOUSE.

SHIRLEY: THE PUBLISHER LAUNCHED THE BOOK AT SMITH MEMORIAL PLAYGROUND IN FAIRMONT PARK.

>> THEY GOT A BUNCH OF FIRST GRADERS AND SECOND GRADERS AND THEY BUILT STUFF.

THEY GOT THE TOOLS IN THEIR HANDS, THE PARTS, THEY FIGURED HOW TO NOT AND BOLD STUFF TOGETHER.

THEY WANTED TO SHOW YOUNG COATS, PARTICULARLY YOUNG GIRLS, THAT BUILDING IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO.

YOU CAN GROW UP TO BE A CONTRACTOR.

♪ SHIRLEY: THIS ISN'T JUST A HOUSE IN A BOOK, IT IS A HOUSE IN REAL LIFE, IN UTAH.

THE PROFESSIONAL WOMEN IN BUILDING ASSOCIATION DECIDED TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT WOMEN CAN BUILD A HOUSE FROM THE GROUND UP, AND THEY DID.

♪ >> THEY BUILT A 3200 SQUARE-FOOT, FOUR-BEDROOM AND 3.5-BATHHOUSE CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET IN UTAH.

ONE OF THE WOMEN FEATURED IN THE BOOK, SHE WAS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR OF THE HOUSE SHE BUILT.

SHE IS A THIRD-GENERATION CONTRACTOR.

GROWING UP, SHE NEVER THOUGHT OF HERSELF AS SOMEONE WHO COULD BUILD THINGS.

SHE SAID NO ONE EVER SAID I COULDN'T, I JUST NEVER SAW ANYONE DO IT.

AND SHE SAID, I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LOVE IT.

3% OF THE ON-SITE LABOR FORCE IS WOMEN.

THE OVERALL LABOR FORCE HAS BEEN SHRINKING IN THE LAST 15 YEARS, SO LET'S ENCOURAGE WOMEN TO THINK OF THAT AS A CAREER.

YOU CAN DO THIS STUFF AND MAKE A CAREER OUT OF IT.

LET'S SEE THAT IN YOUNG GIRLS.

♪ SHIRLEY: THANKS, PETER.

PETER TOLD ME BECAUSE THERE ARE SO FEW WOMEN IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, THAT WOMEN WERE BROUGHT IN FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO CREATE THAT ALL-FEMALE CREW TO BUILD THE HOUSE IN UTAH?

REGINA: IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS THAT THEY MADE THAT HAPPEN.

SHIRLEY: THE HOUSE IS ON THE MARKET, IT IS EXPECTED TO BRING IN $400,000 FOR PROFESSIONAL WOMEN IN BUILDING, AND PROCEEDS FROM THE BOOK SUPPORT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE HOMEBUILDING INDUSTRY?

REGINA: SO EMPOWERING TO HEAR THAT.

AND I HAVE TO GET THAT BOOK.

IT IS A GOOD READ FOR OUR GIRLS.

IT'S A GOOD WAY TO SHOW THEM ALL THE THINGS THEY CAN DO?

REGINA: GIRL GIRL POWER.

READING BEDTIME STORIES WITH MY KIDS IS A, HOUSEHOLD FOR RIGHT AND I ENJOY SHARING STORIES ABOUT OUR RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE.

THANKS TO THE TRENTON LITERACY MOVEMENT, THESE STORIES CONTINUE TO BE PASSED DOWN TO EVEN MORE GENERATIONS.

CELEBRATE THIS BLACK HISTORY MONTH BY GIFTING A CHILD THE ABILITY TO READ -- THAT IS THE MISSION OF THE TRENTON LITERACY MOVEMENT.

>> TODAY I WILL BE READING ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURE BOOKS.

WE PARTNERED WITH THE TRENTON FOUNDATION.

THE GOAL WAS TO INTRODUCE A READ-ALOUD FOR CHILDREN, AND TO HAVE MAN IN THE COMMUNITY ACTUALLY READ THEIR FAVORITE BOOKS.

WE ARE READING ABOUT 14 DIFFERENT BOOKS.

>> LIKE THE SUN, I AM HERE TO SHOW -- >> MY SON IS RECORDING.

AND THAT IS TITLED "I AM ENOUGH," ABOUT CHILDREN AND HOW DIFFERENCES ARE EMBRACED.

AND HOW "I AM ENOUGH" NO MATTER YOUR SKINTONE OR YOUR HAIR COLOR?

REGINA: THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE LITERACY MOVEMENT IS TO TEACH CHILDREN TO READ BY THIRD GRADE.

THE ORGANIZATION RAISES MONEY FOR FREE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN, A MUCH-NEEDED INTERVENTION FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS, WHO MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL LEARNING TOOLS.

>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT BY AGE TWO, CHILDREN WHO ARE READY TO REGULARLY DISPLAY BETTER LANGUAGE SKILLS.

AND BY AGE THREE, THERE IS A 30 MILLION WORD GAP BY CHILDREN FROM AFFLUENT FAMILIES AND POOR FAMILIES.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT 61% OF LOW INCOME FAMILIES HAVE NO BOOKS AT ALL IN THEIR HOMES FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

SO WE ARE STARTING OFF AT A DEFICIT.

OUR GOAL IS TO CHANGE THAT PARADIGM, AND REALLY ENSURE THAT CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO READ ON GRADE LEVEL.

REGINA: ALL THE STORIES READ FOR THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS WERE RECORDED AT THE TRENTON FREE LIBRARY IN THE NEWLY RENOVATED CHILDREN'S ROOM.

FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS, HEAD TO OUR WEBSITE.

SHIRLEY: FROM THE ATMOSPHERE, TO THE FOOD THIS CAKE SALON IS BAKING UP SWEET TREAT.

THAT STORY, COMING UP.

THE 2021 FILM "CONCRETE COWBOY" IS BASED ON THE NOVEL INSPIRED BY THE URBAN AFRICAN-AMERICAN HORSE WRITING OF PHILADELPHIA.

A CELEBRATED LOCAL BOXER AND OTHERS CONTINUE THAT TRADITION IN A WEST PHILADELPHIA NEIGHBORHOOD.

.

♪ >> I STARTED TO BOX AT A YOUNG AGE, IN THE 1970'S.

I WENT TO THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THEN I ALWAYS LIKED THE HORSES.

MY UNCLE HAD HORSES.

SO I WOULD SAY TO MYSELF, ONE DAY I WILL GET A HORSE.

I WENT TO A FRIEND OF MINE WHO OWNS A STABLE.

HE GAVE ME MY FIRST HORSE AND TAUGHT.

IT HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME.

IT TAKES DISCIPLINE, A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE DEDICATED, YOU HAVE TO BE OBLIGATED TO CLEAN THEM UP, WASH THEM, FEED THEM, WALK THEM, DO ALL THE PROPER THINGS YOU NEED TO DO -- DISCIPLINE THEM, TRAIN THEM.

>> MY FAMILY HAD HORSES, SO I GOT INTO HORSES.

WHEN I USED TO WORK AT THE STABLES, WEAVED TO SEE HOW THEY OPERATE.

THEY SAID WHEN YOU GET BIG, YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING.

THAT'S HOW WE STARTED OUT.

A GROUP OF GUYS GET TOGETHER, WE ALL MAKE OUR OWN LITTLE PLATE.

THERE IS A LOT OF THEM IN WEST PHILLY AND NORTH PHILLY.

♪ >> IN THE CITY, SOME HORSES ARE NOT USED TO THE CARS ON THE BUSES AND THE NOISE.

SO YOU HAVE TO WEAN THEM INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

WHEN PEOPLE SEE THE HORSES IN THE STREET, THEY ARE AMAZED.

THERE'S NOT TOO MANY PLACES IN THE CITY THAT HAVE COWBOYS WRITING HORSES IN THE CITY DOWNTOWN OR WHATEVER.

>> WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER, WEST PHILLY, NORTH PHILLY, SOUTHWEST PHILLY, SHARON HILL, WE ARE ALL FROM PHILLY.

SO WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND ENJOY OURSELVES.

>> PHILLY HAS A LOT OF CHARACTERS.

I LOVE BEING A PART OF THIS.

LIKE ONE BIG FAMILY.

WE ARE ALL "CONCRETE COWBOYS."

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE FROM.

WHEN WE RIDE, THEY SAY, "THERE GO THE COWBOYS."

>> IT IS FUN FOR THE KIDS.

WHEN THEY GET OUT OF SCHOOL, THEY COME HERE.

DO WHATEVER YOUR MOM TELL YOU TO DO.

WE SHOW THEM RESPONSIBILITY.

IT IS A LOT OF WORK, BUT IT IS FUN.

♪ >> MY POPS GOT ME INTO DEALING WITH THE HORSES.

I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.

>> ONCE I GOT HERE, YOU SEE THE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES.

THEY ARE FUN TO BE AROUND.

AND I LOVE TO RIDE THEM.

>> THEY ARE THE ONES THAT TAUGHT US WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE HISTORY TO BACK THE KNOWLEDGE, TO HELP YOU GROW THROUGHOUT YOUR JOURNEY.

>> IT WAS GOOD TO PASS IT ONTO MY SON, MY GRANDSON, MY GRANDDAUGHTERS.

THEY LOVE IT.

IT'S A GOOD THING FOR KIDS TO LEARN.

>> THEY ARE GETTING KIDS, CHILDREN OFF THE STREETS AND TEACHING THEM DISCIPLINE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN THAT COME FROM FAMILIES THAT DON'T HAVE THAT GOOD FOUNDATION.

IT HELPS THEM STAY OUT OF TROUBLE.

GETTING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED AND THEY ARE STILL ABLE TO BE A PART OF IT FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS TO COME.

>> WE HELP A LOT OF KIDS THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY ARE STRAIGHTENING THEIR LIFE UP A BIT.

WE TRY TO DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH THEM.

>> WE RIDE ALL OVER, WE HAVE WRITTEN IN PROTESTS, BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS.

WE RIDE THE CITY.

THERE IS NO LIMIT WHERE WE GO.

>> FROM ONE SIDE TO THE CITY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY, SOMETIMES WE RIDE DOWNTOWN.

WE COWBOYS.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

>> WE LIVE IN HISTORY IN OUR OWN WAY AND SHOW PEOPLE THAT THERE ARE BLACK COWBOYS IN THE CITY.

♪ SHIRLEY: ONE OF THE BLACK COWBOYS FEATURED IN THE STORY, CALVIN KELLY, WAS ALSO RECENTLY INDUCTED INTO THE PENNSYLVANIA BOXING HALL OF FAME.

SO A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM ON THIS RECOGNITION.

REGINA: GRAB YOUR POPCORN, WE ARE GOING INTO THE MOVIES WITH PATRICK STONER.

THIS WEEK HE TALKS TO JEREMY IRONS ABOUT HIS ROLE IN "NEW NET: THE EDGE OF WAR -- MUNI CH: THE EDGE OF WAR."

I VOWED THAT IF A FUND MYSELF IN A POSITION WHERE I COULD PREVENT SOMETHING FROM HAPPENING, I WOULD DO ANYTHING.

>> THE PRIME MINISTER PRIOR TO WORLD WAR II WHO WAS ACCUSED OF BEING AN APPEASER TO HITLER.

BUT A LOT ELSE WAS GOING ON, IN A NOVEL THAT DETAILS ONE VERSION OF IT.

JEREMY IRONS TALKS ABOUT THAT WITH ME.

>> WHAT ROBERT HARRIS WITH HIS BOOK HAS, DONE WITH THIS IS TO SHOW US THAT CHAMBERLAIN, HE IS RECENTLY ACCURATE.

WHAT IS PASSED DOWN TO US IS A VERSION OF A MAN THROUGH THE EYES OF OUR GREAT WARTIME LEADER, WINSTON CHURCHILL.

HE WAS CONSTANTLY CALLING CHAMBERLAIN AN APPEASER AND A WEAK MAN, GIVING INTO HITLER'S.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT WE WEREN'T READY.

HAD WE GONE TO WAR, WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN OVERRUN AND BEATEN WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR.

>> IT WASN'T SO OF YEARS AT THAT POINT THAT YOU WERE DEALING WITH A MADMAN.

WE COULD OF COURSE RELATE TO MODERN TIMES WHEN YOU KEEP DISCOVERING THINGS, THAT CHAMBERLAIN AT THAT TIME AND AT THAT MOMENT WAS JUST IN THE PROCESS OF DISCOVERING.

>> I THINK ALWAYS YOU HAVE -- CHURCHILL WROTE HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHIES WITH HINDSIGHT.

KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

CHAMBERLAIN WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

IT IS VERY EASY TO LOOK BACK AND JUDGE.

I DON'T THINK HE BELIEVED THAT HITLER MOTIVATION WAS PURELY TO ENLARGE INTO SUDENTENLAN I THINK HE REALIZED HE WAS GOINGD TO DO MORE.

.

AND THEN A FEW FRIENDS CAME IN AND HELPED US AND WE MANAGED TO OVERTHROW THE NAZI REGIME.

>> WHAT KIND OF A PLEASURE IS IT TO FEEL THAT YOU ARE SITTING IN HISTORY?

THAT YOU ARE LITERALLY IN THE MOMENT, BEING IN HISTORY?

IS IT NOT ALSO ALMOST A BOYISH ENJOYMENT TO FEEL IT?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

I HAVE ALWAYS HUNG ONTO THE CHILD INSIDE ME, AND CHILDREN LOVE ATTENDING OR BEING OTHER PLACES -- PRETENDING TO BE IN OTHER PLACES AND TO BE OTHER PEOPLE.

I CAN TAKE HOLIDAYS INTO OTHER LIVES, OTHER PERIODS.

IT IS A HUGE JOY, I HAVE TO SAY, I AM VERY LUCKY TO BE IN THE PROFESSION I AM AND TO HAVE THE CHANCES I HAVE HAD.

>> IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO TALK TO YOU, AND WE WILL SEE HOW THIS RELATES TO MODERN TIMES AS WE GO ALONG.

>> WE WILL.

>> WE WILL, INDEED.

IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN WITH THE BAGEL-MONGERERS WHO NURTURE THE DUO FOR HOURS.

IT WILL GO THROUGH 10 SETS OF HANDS BEFORE IT BECOMES WHAT IT SHOULD BE, WHICH IS SOMEBODY ELSE'S SUBSTANCE.

THE ROMANCE OF IT IS, TO ME, IN THE SOURDOUGH STARTER, HELEN WHO IS A LITTLE OVER NINE YEARS OLD RIGHT NOW.

WHO WAS BORN AN HOUR BACKYARD IN MILD USED AND TAP WATER HIGH GLUTEN FLOUR, AND APPLE SKINS FROM GREEN APPLES THAT I MADE FOR MY MOM.

INSIDE THAT SOURDOUGH STARTER IS THE ENERGY OF EVERY HUMAN BEING I HAVE BEEN WITH.

SHE HAS BEEN AROUND SO VERY LONG .

I THINK I SAW EVERY BAGEL YOU EVER MADE AND EVERY GUY AND EVERY LOAF OF BREAD.
