Queen’s Chronicle: Living to Heal Gullah/Geechee Land
“Do LAWD! Please don le mi libin be een vain!” I have cried out and stated many times in my life which can often seem like the “tedious journey” that I have sung about hundreds to thousands of times. I give thanks in those moments when GOD sends that one person to tell me how something I said or did changed their lives or was just what they needed at a critical moment. That’s when I know that GOD is confirming that my life’s work is of value to somebody. That makes my soul sing “Feel Like Journey On!” Hallelujah!

Gullah/Geechee SEA & ME: Celebrating and Saving Coastal Legacy
The Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition has always centered its work on ensuring that Gullah/Geechee land would be in Gullah/Geechee hands for generations to come. When we first started our work over two decades ago, I didn’t realize how true “De wata bring we and de wata gwine tek we bak.” would be. However, it is due the water’s consistency that we have witnessed the erosion of our coastline and also the rising of new collaborations within the Gullah/Geechee Nation.
