In this episode, we, Dr. Raina J. León and Dr. Norma D. Thomas, start with the check in question "Were you spoiled as a child?" and what that even means before sharing Dr. Thomas's process in starting her ancestral research with herself. She talks about the baby pictures that she has, her origins in Fayette County, PA (Uniontown) and all the documents that inform her self-discovery. She also shares with us about how a part of her legacy creation work is documenting the lives of her children and grandchildren through albums. This is not about ego; it is about legacy. You and your people must be remembered. You are worthy of archives. Also, if you do not celebrate your greatness, who will? This podcast shares strategies for celebrating your you and all that (and who) informs you.
