Attending my first WARP Annual Meeting in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as one of the Alice Brown Memorial Scholarship recipients was a vibrant and inspiring experience, weaving together community, passion, and tradition.   INGLÉS/ESPAÑOL

I was excited to be the Keynote speaker for the Weave A Real Peace Gathering at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa and to talk about my book, Plantation Slave Weavers Remember: An Oral History.  INGLÉS/ESPAÑOL
