Black Cord of Hope

The Story of the Black Cord of Hope 

(BCoH) 

It all began when a grandmother shared a tattered tin photo of her grandmother. The image captivated my heart. She shared a powerful image and a heart-wrenching story with me. 

As I sat on the side of her bed, at 99, her mind was as sharp as mine. Her powerful recall captivated me and made me want to know more. I began to understand the systemic impact of five generations of my maternal bloodline. While she held the photo in her hand, she shared how she was given to a white couple as a wedding gift at the age of ten and brought to America. 

I could feel the pain and trauma of slavery and its significant impact on my life. Our story is familiar to the African American community, and these true accounts have impacted millions of people of African descent.

As I studied the slave timeline and the impact it had on my grandmother's life and our family,  I felt a call to action, a voice urging me to do something, say something. And so I set out to offer a small contribution to my people who have Traumatic Slave Syndrome, which still impacts us today.

I pray this quick video and written Declaration will establish a new foundation for my people and our culture. I know it's time to start a healing narrative that can help us move forward as a society. The birth of the Black Cord of Hope symbolizes resilience, strength, and unity, a cord that binds us together as we seek to create a better future for ourselves and future generations.
