In this special two-part episode of The Freed Black Girl, I take you on a journey into my family’s history. Beginning over 12 years ago I set out to uncover the roots of my maternal lineage. My quest began with my grandmother, Willa Mae—a woman of mystery to me, strength, and love, who passed away before I was born. Although I knew little about her, I soon discovered that she was not only a healer as a nurse but also a medicine and conjure woman with Taino-Jamaican heritage born in Knoxville, Tennessee.

These revelations have brought new understanding to my own life, showing me how the past shapes the present. Join me as I explore these profound connections and reflect on the importance of knowing our family stories.
