    We often talk about or recognize that we're descendants of enslaved people, but what does that really mean? Acknowledging it is just one part of accepting who we are and where we came from. But what's most important, is not only appreciating the richness of our our culture, but also capturing and passing down our traditional practices, so that future generations can continue on ancestral paths that were left for us to follow and hear the voices of wisdom from those who came before us.
