Spirit Tawfiq launches Roots of the Spirit podcast by speaking truthfully about her experience as the daughter of Little Rock Nine member, Minnijean Brown Trickey who desegregated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Born and raised in Canada, she grew up totally unaware of her mother’s major role in U.S. history. But upon learning became voraciously passionate about uncovering the truth about this tragic and victorious story. Spirit’s journey back to her roots ignited a deep passion for social change and excavated her calling as a changemaker and storyteller.
