What I liked

There is the saying, “You can give a guy a fish, or you can teach him how to fish” but Jess teaches us how to want to find out more about fishing, ignites our curiosity, through her journey in what i can call, the best history class I have attended in years! She is an engaging presenter and sprinkles humor in at the right moments with balanced transitions.

What I didn't like

No notes!

My overall impression

A blend of history and mental health, with surprising and insightful twists. Jessica Martin takes us through the history of Joan of Arc while also detailing his life, finding parallels. I could not help but think of Joseph Campbell’s saying, “Find your myth” and Jess sharing the synchronicity that comes with it. The best history class I have attended in years!
