Episode 5
The Importance of Reconnecting With Your Roots
Description
Roots; they provide nourishment, feed your souls, and anchor you. Reconnecting with your roots is essential to understand the importance of giving back to your community. Knowing your roots also propels your personal journey forward with a stronger foundation and potential to prosper to your fullest.
Come learn from three African women in the 5th episode of Brown Sugar Talk as they share their stories and how they’ve pursued a reconnection to their roots while no longer physically present in their African communities.

Testimonial
“This episode taught me about the importance of positioning when it comes to telling a story. It has given me such insight into the importance of reading a text that is not only written for you and about you, but authored by someone who shares your unique perspective.
Being a dancer, I was especially intrigued by the discussion about connecting through dance. The physicality of dance is something so special, and I’m glad to know that it can be used as a vehicle for connecting to your roots.”
