On this episode of Common Mystics, we continue our discussion of Chattanooga, Tennessee. After the Civil War, many families were left shattered with poverty, disease, and hardship forcing countless children into desperate situations. Orphanages emerged, yet support remained tragically scarce for children of color or those living with disabilities or illness. That’s where Almira Steele’s story begins. A fearless advocate with a heart full of compassion, she dedicated her life to giving ALL needy children in Chattanooga a chance—providing shelter, education, and hope when no one else would. Her remarkable courage and unwavering love built a legacy that still resonates today. Don’t miss this powerful story of resilience and inspiration. Tune in now!
