Queen’s Chronicle: Healin #GullahGeechee Land & Holdin pun de Culcha
Holdin pun de culcha happens pun de land. If we are taking a stand for land in order to keep Gullah/Geechee cultural heritage alive on it, it requires a significant intellectual, spiritual, and financial investment. So, as much as “Gullah/Geechee Famlee Day” is a fun raiser it is also a fundraiser. We call on all those celebrating “Gullah/Geechee Nation Appreciation Week” that truly appreciate the work that is on-going that allows us to still live on our coast and to keep our culture alive here to contribute to the “Gullah/Geechee Land & Legacy Fund”

World Oceans Day de Gullah/Geechee Way
The women in the Gullah/Geechee Nation have long appreciated the ocean and the other waterways as spiritual areas and recognize their sacredness. They have led numerous activities such as numerous libation ceremonies, the Gullah/Geechee Reunion and Worship by the Sea sponsored the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Committee of Northeast Florida held at the ocean over the past two decades. They continue to be active in the work of the Gullah/Geechee Fishing Association and the work to #SaveOurOcean and #ProtectOurCoast along with a plethora of global partners. They stand as a true example that #TogetherWeCan face the numerous challenges that are plaguing and polluting our ocean.
Saving the Sea and the Sea Islands
As World Oceans Day 2019 approaches, we pray that the tide of continued support against seismic gun testing and offshore drilling continues to rise higher and flood out this issue permanently.
