From the Plantation to the Present: Help Us Complete our Family Film, “Where I Got My Name”

As Black History Month comes to a close, I’m reaching out with an opportunity to not only reflect on history but to actively support its preservation. My family and I are working on a documentary film, Where I Got My Name: A Story of Struggle and Self-Discovery, chronicling our journey to Mississippi and Louisiana to uncover the history of our ancestors who were enslaved on the Lenoir and Darensbourg plantations. We can't finish our film, Where I got My Name, without your help and we would be deeply grateful if you could donate to support the completion of our film.

“Where I Got My Name: A Story of Struggle and Self Discovery”–Help Us Tell the Story of Our Enslaved Ancestors

I just got back from taking my sons on a life-changing journey to Mississippi and Louisiana where we went to the sites of the plantations on which our family members were enslaved. There we began making a documentary film about our experience—but we need your help to finish the project, so please consider donating to our GoFundMe page.
