Girls Trip 2021 - We explored the Sea Islands, Beaufort, and Port Royal. We stayed in the town where Harriet Tubman led the union forces and freed over 700 enslaved people. We saw two church ruins that are well over 200 years old. We visited the Penn Center where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gathered with other civil rights activists. The same place that was the first school for formally enslaved individuals in the United States and where he wrote a portion of his “I Have A Dream” speech. We explored the very area that is the heart of the Gullah culture and learned so much about the history of the Gullah Geechee culture. On our very last day, we even got to eat authentic Gullah food at The Gullah Grub.

The humidity was painful but the sights were stunning, the people were kind and welcoming, and the entire area was rich with history.

🌟✨ The stars truly aligned! 💫 In 2009, I stumbled upon a book titled “Black Farmers in America” while visiting the Penn Center on St. Helena Island. I was drawn to purchase the book as it connected to my deep roots in farming, which runs on both sides of my family, and the essay therein was written by one of our DC parishioners, Juan Williams.

Fast forward to 2025, and Clevedale hosting the SC Black Farmers Coalition Executive Retreat. This weekend felt like a beautiful tribute to my ancestors, who worked the land and nurtured our heritage. Paul and I are filled with gratitude as we reflect on our Clevedale journey, the many guests hosted, and the importance of community. Here’s to honoring the past and cultivating a brighter future together! 🥂🌱
