I am reborn.
And I get little pieces of myself.
I reclaim them.
And I wanted my friends and my family to experience that same thing.
And so I gathered some of the closest people to me that were able to fly to Africa.
And we started in Tanzania.
And we kicked off one of the big party celebrations there.
With the Maasai.
And then we went to Ghana.
And I wanted to take my family to Elmina Castle, which was the last place our enslaved ancestors were held before they were put on ships.
Oh, wow.
During the Middle Passage.
Okay.
Onto their enslavement in various parts of the Americas.
For me, it is a very haunted, occupied space that is incredibly sacred.
And if you're quiet enough, you can hear our ancestors speaking to us.
And sometimes it feels like a warning.
Sometimes it feels like protection.
Sometimes it feels like encouragement.
But they're speaking to us.
