♡“I’ve spent years researching my family history, and still find time whenever I can.

My mother has an ancestor who fought in the American Revolutionary War, and much of her lineage is rooted in the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation (OBSN.org). In contrast, many of my father’s ancestors were once enslaved on plantations in South Carolina.  

I am constantly seeking ways to honor these rich histories that define my existence.”
