I wished I took footage of thee Connie Bell of @de_archive holding court yesterday at their event, ‘Reconciliation: Practices for Healing in the Archives’ dropping gems of wisdom leaving us all 🤯. I got to meet some elder & younger Black female academics & expand my community.

@itsJaninebtw @de_archive @itsJaninebtw here’s one for the archive! As a graduate of the @de_archive “Correcting Our Collecting” course and a volunteer at yesterday’s event, I knew attendees would be in for something special from Connie. A wonderful day of reconnecting, reasoning and reimagining.

@dhcohall draws on ancestral folklore about the medicinal benefits of plants.   We’re excited that he will be joining us on to deliver a presentation and practical @ Finding What Is Ours🙏🏾  eventbrite.co.uk/e/finding-what…
