Notable mentions include: Harry Houdini and Emanuel Bronner (Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap); Fran Drescher, LGBTQ+ politician Harvey Milk, and activist Brenda Howard (The Mother of Pride), celebrity entertainers Doja Cat, Paula Abdul, and Harrison Ford; Groucho, Harpo, and The Marx Bros; and the story of seltzer to name a few.

Jessica will also dive into themes of belonging and the making of American identity in this one-hour talk.
