I’m honored to share that I’ll be stepping forward this weekend for the first public conversation about my upcoming book:
The Gullah Geechee Saga: Through African Eyes

The full launch is coming this September —
But before we get there, I want to take you deep into one of the most powerful chapters in the book:

✊🏾 Chapter 11 — Exiles to Builders: The Black Loyalists’ Journey

“From Charleston to Birchtown to Freetown, this isn’t a story of exile.
It’s a story of return, reinvention, and reclamation.”
— Amadu Massally

Why this chapter?

Because it speaks to so many of us —
especially those with Gullah Geechee, Creole, and Nova Scotian lineage,
whose ancestors fought for freedom, faced betrayal, and still managed to build entire worlds.

We’ll talk:

🪖 Revolution and migration
🌨️ Nova Scotia’s cold truth
🌍 The founding of Freetown
✍🏾 Why these stories are missing — and what it means to bring them back

This isn’t a book promo.
It’s a conversation about truth.
And it’s just the beginning.

📚 Come for the history.
🤝 Stay for the connection.

Let’s talk about return, resilience, and the roads our people paved.

Here is more than a sneak peek to what we will be doing on Saturday; after a brief overview of the book.

In solidarity,

Amadu Massally
