Welcome to episode 12 of Season 2 of the of the I Am Black History podcast brought to you by InTheBlack:Canada (ITBC) and DeeP Visions Media. I met Stella Sheppard at Emancipation Day celebrations in Prince Edward Island in 2021. Stella invited me to her home where we had a conversation about her ancestors who were some of the first Black people.brought to PEI. She talked about growing up in Darkie's Hollow on Seven Mile Road and why knowing about her Black and Indigenous heritages is so important to her. Stella is a storyteller, journalist, and writer and has published one book called Ashes of My Dreams and has submitted a sequel titled Snatched at Birth.
