S22 Ep258: Byte: Queen D Michele ~ Surviving the Passage...

My gorgeous guest this time is a self-described "QUIET STORM" AKA Queen D Michele, a human being who is committed to ensuring a more just, more beautiful and more welcoming future for all of us! She is someone who moves in places and spaces that most of us cannot access, but what she learns in those places, she shares with the rest of us. (thank goodness!) A self-described New Earth Representative, Queen D is here to change the world, and shape the world so that all can live together in harmony. (crossing fingers that all this happens)...

Her miracle story gobsmacked me this week-it's all about ancestors, survival, about strength and NEVER GIVING UP, despite incredible hardship and brutality. To check out her website click here! To check out that video she references, about being welcomed back to the village where her ancestor was captured and enslaved, click here! And to check out her books, click here!

PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE POD, EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!!

Your bit of beauty this time is this video of a Traditional Guinea-Bissau dance. As they say in the caption, "In an effort to protect traditions Guinea-Bissau is setting up its own dance library. It's needed to preserve Kaboro, a dance style where women call the shots." A DANCE LIBRARY YOU SAY? TELL ME MORE! Yet another example of how humans are saving their arts, their creations, their stories and their cultures, in ways we are only beginning to imagine into existence!
