Because of my ancestors, I have the ability to create. Because of them, I can use my platform to shine a light on their legacy, empower our community, and showcase a culture so rich and powerful. The more I learn about African American and Gullah Geechee history, the more I’m reminded of the strength and resilience of our people. So yes, I’ll say it again—Camp Geechee is a story for our ancestors, and I’m proud to tell it!

Expectations: ..that it’s clean..comes flowing when you turn on the tap..is perfectly fine to fish in, swim in, and let your pets drink from.

Well, the issues surrounding are more complicated than that. Yet you don’t have to be a lobbyist to fight for clean water, safeguards around drought, protect larger bodies of water that are critical to sustained life on our special planet.
