Reflective

As a product of the Civil rights movement....l was raised within some ancestral tradtitions. Hearing her talk about roots awakened memories regarding possible solutions for our life's challenges. Every family in the south knew about the "root" worker. More of my lived experience to share with my children.

Stephanie Rose Bird 😍

I love this book and how it goes deeper in history than Sticks, Stones, Roots and Bones yet compliments the material deeply. I listened on Audible before purchasing a hard copy just to see if it felt repetitive but it is a book to have in hand. Highlighting and marking is necessary because you will return to the material.
