Where Your People From? Tea Talk

Picture
Join Denise Miller, Shannon Sykes-Nehring, Dr Michelle S. Johnson, and Jessica Ivey for a  HOUR FACEBOOK LIVE CHAT FOCUSED on Black and Brown Family History, Genealogy, and Family Stories where we will share tips and tricks to get you started or move you further in your own journey mixed with a healthy dash of laughter, real talk, and love! The only tea we will be serving is the stories we tell, but you are welcome to grab a cup of your favorite brew and tune in! You don’t have to be Black or Brown to tune in. But if you are, this is finally a spot that will center your stories and experiences and if you’re not, the genealogy tips we talk about will still work for you!
