It Doesn't Start With Slavery: Recent Episodes
LB
This podcast tells the true story of a family connected by one person. The author abandons traditional chronology in weaving the complicated story that bonds her to her people. Designed to leave a legacy and live in perpetuity memorializing the ancestors and honoring future generations, it hopes to debunk the lies often taught in American history that people of color in the USA originated in slavery. It. Is. But. One. Woman's Story. I encourage you to tell your truth as well.
More Music, cigarettes and hair. This time with dancing, singing, and loving.

About 6 years ago I started writing and re-writing The Rite Series. I just decided this past weekend to just read it to you. This episode is Part 1 of the Prologue. It defines the sights, sounds, and smells of my early years.
