  • Summary

  • Tyler Perry's The Six Triple Eight explores the true story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black, all-female unit that overcame racism, sexism, and lack of resources to ensure soldiers on the frontlines received critical morale-boosting mail during WWII.

    Through a standout character like Major Charity Adams, played by Kerry Washington, the film highlights themes of resilience, leadership, and the intersection of race and gender.

    This podcast examines these themes and shares five lessons, from valuing women in military operations to the importance of equitable resource allocation, drawing parallels to contemporary struggles for inclusion and equity.
