Envisioning Gullah/Geechee Peace and Sea Island Serenity
I thought about how I was getting dressed to go to my mom’s to tell her that there was going to be a prayer vigil in Beaufort that I was going to go to that evening and I wanted to make sure she would be ready to go too. She was ready the moment I said, I was going to pray. As I talked to her, I realized that where we planned to go was actually the same lot where Junior and I had stood and talked! I looked up and I smiled. I could see his face as he smiled. I could hear his voice again saying, “Cuz, I’m still fishing.”

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!

Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation (www.QueenQuet.com) will be the keynote speaker for the Leadership Summit for Healthy Communities.
