Growing up as the only black girl in an all-white neighborhood during the late 1960s was a life-defining experience.
From facing isolation at school to encountering both subtle and overt racism, my family's journey to simply buy a house was fraught with challenges. Yet, it was my extroverted nature and the unwavering support of my family that helped me navigate these lonely and difficult times.
This episode of "Quiet, No More" opens a window into my childhood, highlighting how resilience and self-confidence were built through the pride instilled by my family. Celebrating black heritage and sharing our history through education and community engagement were key aspects that empowered me to rise above adversity.
Moreover, I emphasize the crucial role of preserving and sharing personal and family histories. Rediscovering forgotten events and details from my past has shown me that every piece of our history plays a vital role in the larger narrative of our country.
This episode encourages listeners to look at family artifacts and stories with a fresh perspective, understanding their significance in constructing our collective heritage. By recording and sharing our stories, we ensure that the vital pieces of our shared history remain known and cherished.
Join me as we take an active role in preserving our legacy and ensure that our histories are "Quiet no More.
