The Books... a Deserving Compliment

Thank you, Deon. This is a HUGE compliment—and yes, it truly is a labor of love.

To be placed in your Gullah studies library next to Lorenzo Dow Turner is not small. If you know Turner, you know what that means. 🙏🏾

And let me say this plainly: every Gullah Geechee should not only learn Gullah—we must teach it to the chillun. A language survives when it’s spoken at home, not just studied in books.

As America celebrates 250 years, we should remember: our common ancestors didn’t just “witness” the building of this country—they helped build it, paid for it, and survived it. Preserving Gullah is not nostalgia. It’s inheritance.

Deon, thank you again. You honored me today.
