Queen of the Yard Podcast is dedicated to the HBCU Baddies who’ve been HBCU Campus Queens, competed for the crown, and/or those who are HBCU Campus Queen historians.
This week, Stacey L. Holman and Tracee Loran sit down with royalty—literal and legacy. We’re talking to living legend Ms. Gwendolyn G. Johnson, Miss Fisk 1951–52, and her powerhouse granddaughter Devon Johnson, Miss Maroon & White 2015–16.
From Devon’s strategic, boots-on-the-yard campaign hustle to Ms. Gwendolyn’s firsthand account of navigating Jim Crow laws—and casually being connected to a Harlem Renaissance icon (yes, really)—this episode is a celebration of beauty, brilliance, and Black womanhood across generations.
Tune in for laughs, legacy, and a whole lotta #BlackGirlMagic.
