Black Family Historians Convening - Navigating Your Family Research Journey

We represent the next generation of culture keepers. We are community builders, storytellers, creatives, and healers. As culture shifters and futurists, we preserve the sanctity of Black storytelling. 

We unearth the deep wells of oral tradition and archive as a conduit to our ancestral wisdom. By conceiving fresh rituals and traditions, we kindle intergenerational healing and connections. 

If this speaks to you, join us Wednesday, December 10 for a convening of those discovering, keeping, and sharing Black family histories.

Our theme this month is Navigating your family research journey. We’ll be joined by Joanne Griffith, a journalist, author, and entrepreneur who first began filling out her family tree in 2007. From archival research to family interviews, Joanne will share her findings, stories, and learnings. If you have questions about how to get started or how to regain momentum with your family history research, this session is for you.

This convening is hosted by the organizers of Black Storytelling Week, a holiday dedicated to passing down family history. Black Storytelling Week is the second week of September
