Who taught you?
I was speaking to my friend Baba Nati discussing my return to sewing and Kuumba (creativity). I was thanking my ancestor my Grand Margaret (paternal grandma) who really taught me to be self-sufficient. Between her and my dad they really helped with my 1st Sankofa journey. My Grand taught me how to cook (my mama and auntie too), sew, crochet, knit, garden, dry herbs, some herbal uses, medicines (cod liver oil yuck! other home remedies, etc), making sun tea, making ice cream and butter from scratch, and so much more. I really have to pay homage to her planting a seed of self-sufficiency and the will to figure it out. Thankh you Grandma Margaret for speaking life into me and my ideas.
