Such a moving presentation! Paula is a great story-teller. She shares her passion for family connection in such a meaningful way. It seems like she was "all in" and took her brothers along with her. She boldly embraces her racial identification, and travels to Toronto and then China to find her people. Bravo for her bravery, for Family Search records, and for Paula's willingness to share her journey!
Wonderful Thank you.
"Family is family, it doesn't matter the raise of the family." I was moved by her story. It shows how significant each of us to be connected. It makes us whole, gives us the warmth of being a part of a family.
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to listen to someone who has done what I want to do. Just this brief presentation gave me a structure of sorts for doing what I have put off for far too long.
I absolutely loved her message. She kept me spellbound, moved and enlightened. What a credit she is to not only her family but to ALL of us as a human being. Believe me, I got "IT". No undercurrent message, no racial or gender based garbage... just all REAL. What an example ... from one die hard genealogist to another!!

I am a Hakka. Hakka people are very strong, close-knit clan. As long as you have Hakka blood in you, it doesn't matter if you are black, white, yellow or brown, you are a true Hakka. Hakka people accept you as their own.
Beautiful comment and very true. I have just discovered this beautiful inheritance and I couldn't be more happy to be of chinese jamaican descent
Paula Madison you brought it. Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. All i feel is love.
Touched my heart. Love you Paula
Amazing lady! She is blessed to have found the person from FamilySearch that led her to find her Chinese roots. I love her testimony and her courage and perseverance to find their ancestors in China.
Very touching. I'm glad for you to have finally found your Chinese root, and so moved that your mother's descendants have all been accepted by the Low's klan in Guangdong. Afterall, a family is a family, like what an old Chinese saying goes, "bones could be broken, but tendons will still connect them" (打断骨头连着筋).
Like what you said, now you're no longer floating in the air, you're finally grounded, and grounded in deep history from 1006 BC! Hope your mother too will finally find peace in the heaven, that her daughter had finally found her dad back in China.
I would suggest maybe you could, with the help of your relatives in China, hold a ritual to bring your mother's soul for once back to her father's side, the father she so missed during her childhood, and her lifetime...Yes, there is such a ritual in Chinese traditions.
Best wishes to you and your mother's descendants.
Someone commented that this was a heart warming story. As it is said truedat. I watched holding back the tears. (men aren't suppose to cry) Sorry I did. Paula your story has give me the push I needed to dig further into my family's history. Thank you
Paula is an eloquent speaker. Thumbs up!
wow is a beautiful experience finding her family. i like it.
wow...wow.I felt like crying listening to this
Absolutely Amazing story!
Such a heartwarming story!
Paula's ancestors are so grateful to her for filling in the gaps and bringing her family together. I feel overwhelmed w/ their joy.
Great job! I truly enjoyed this video. So enlightening!
"Slavery was a moment in time of our Africanness". love that!
A powerful presentation!
Working on a project I came across this RUclips clip and "couldn't stop watching"~ A VERY intriguing story and well presented by Ms. Madison! Gott'a get back to work; but I've "bookmarked" this clip for review and sharing...
Paula is skilled communicator
She talked about Jamaican celebrations and I instantly thought of food ;-)
And I used to have a Hoyle computer game collection and it had virtual players. And I always played with the same three -- an alien named Roswell, a bear named Harley and a Jamaican guy named Jasper and one of the things he said was something like, "Every Thursday night I invite my friends over for fish and bammy. That's Jamaican bread."
So I'm wondering if they had any bammy and how delicious it is. One of my favorite things about different cultures IS the food. ;-)
This is so amazing. Inspirational. This is not the first story I've heard of a Chinese descendant linking back to a family that has an extensive family tree, once found. I only wish I could find my link in England in the late 1700s, my link in Scotland in the late 1700s and my link in Ireland in the late 1700s, my link in Germany in the late 1700s. See a pattern? The Europeans don't have quite the same written history preserved like other places in the world. We only have theories.
We don't? Yes, we do. I know records were destroyed in Ireland, but in general, I thought it was common knowledge that people of European descent were able to trace their ancestors far back. Mine have been traced back to the 1500s.
@@AmandaFromWisconsin depends on your lines/family and what they did for work.
Phenomenal speaker !!! Great Story ❤️
Nice to know your story sis.
Very enjoyable presentation, thank you 🙂
Wow! Loved this!
Love this!
A super vidio , enjoyed it
I've started in the process of helping my cousins find information about their paternal grandfather.
My uncle (actually my father's half-brother) never knew his father. He and my grandmother split up when my uncle was still a baby. For years the family just presumed that the whole thing was made up. That the name was made up.
But I found on Family Search a copy of the marriage record in Alabama. And the age and name matches up with a guy who was of Polish ancestry from Missouri. So I am going through all kinds of records and I even found a database of related Polish names online. I have learned Italian and am researching my own Italian ancestors. I will eventually learn Polish to help my cousins find information about their paternal grandfather's family. His parents were both born in Poland.
Ironically my uncle (now deceased) lived for years in Florida and never knew he had family living in the same state -- his father's family. It is possible that at some point his father was living not far from him in Florida and he never knew it. Hopefully I can put the pieces together and find as many primary source records to match them up successfully.
Maybe my cousins will find some family connections through DNA testing or just contacting that side.
We have two "new" cousins in our extended family as well. Both from relationships that were not marriages. They are now a part of their real family and events like marriages and births of children were shared with the connected family they never knew when they were both children.
Paula is an amazing woman.
More of us need to do this! We are more than African
re: apparent contradictory racial comments.
Please understand that the very fact that she made contradictory comments about race is evidence of her own path to acceptance of who she is and where she came from. That path has to be traveled by all. If genealogical DNA testing has shown us anything it is that we are all a mash up of races. But it takes time and experience to go from "right on black people" to "race doesn't matter." Paula Madison is showing us in her movies, book and even in her unguarded speaking, that becoming a whole person of mixed up mashed up racial identity is a journey. Happy trails to us all.
"Right on, Brother" Ha! What a cool story
I wish we could see all the photos
I like her jade pendant and the fact she is Hakka and so eloquent.
She does kind of look Chinese, really though, her skin and hair scream "Africa" but her facial structure and even her eyes shout "China"!
“Family is family”. Love that we are ALL connected! We are ALL God’s children!

Racism -- Fact, Race -- Fiction
Please join me in my struggle to dismantle the paradigm and remove the word “race” from our vernacular. If you must label or describe a person, use the word “phenotype”, not race. Phenotype refers to a person’s observable physical characteristics or appearance. Alternatively, using the phrase “genetic ancestry” acknowledges DNA or overwhelming scientific (anthropological, archaeological, genetic) evidence.
Phenotype: human variation, observable physical characteristics, truth, physical traits, outward appearance, genetic skin colour, hue, pigment, shape of nose, shape of lips, height, hair texture, facial details
Race: arbitrary, substitute for science, archaic mindset, harmful, surrogate for biology, lie, non-existent, fiction, illusion, erroneous, unscientific, social construct, political construct, oppressive, divisive, inaccurate, biased, justifies slavery, upholds discrimination, legitimizes segregation, validates supremacy, reinforces stereotypes, human invention, Hitler’s goal, eugenic fantasy, myth, false reality, arbitrary, upholds the bastion of privilege, cancer, mental illness, obsessive-compulsive disorder, harmful, denies and contradicts equality, science fiction, manmade, delusion, medieval, detriment, exclusivity
In 1950, UNESCO issued a statement asserting that all humans belong to the same species and that "race" is not a biological reality but a myth. Substantial research from anthropologists, biologists, geneticists, and other scientists have proven over and over that there is no such thing as human biological races.

Angélica Dass's photography challenges how we think about skin colour and ethnic identity. In this personal talk, hear about the inspiration behind her portrait project, Humanæ, and her pursuit to document humanity's true colours rather than the untrue white, red, black and yellow associated with race.

A study of diverse African groups by geneticists has identified new genetic variants associated with skin pigmentation. The findings help explain the vast range of skin colour on the African continent, shed light on human evolution and inform an understanding of the genetic risk factors for conditions such as skin cancer.

Working Toward Whiteness - How America’s Immigrants became White - David R. Roediger
Working Toward Whiteness is about the Southern and Eastern European migration that brought 13 million people to the United States between 1886 and 1925 - and how this population, which definitely arrived as “non-White,” became White within the span of few decades.

In this video, spoken word artist Prince Ea challenges us to ask ourselves the question, “Who would you be if the world never gave you a label?”
www.huffingtonpost.ca/amitha-kalaichandran/race-based-medicine_b_9219784.html
"Race medicine promotes the false belief not only that human beings are naturally divided into races but also that racial inequality is caused by innate racial differences we must accept rather than social inequities we must change. Race is not a biological category that produces health disparities because of genetic differences, but racism has negative biological effects on people's bodies."

The Problem with Race-Based Medicine
soundcloud.com/royal-institution/what-science-tells-us-about-race-and-racism
An evidence-based discussion of the controversial topic of race, as science sees it.
"It would seem better to define everyone as simply human beings, not with non-scientific or socially-constructed labels of superiority and inferiority, and accord them rights, duties and freedoms based solely upon their existence, rather than upon their state of pigmentation, genetic makeup, or presumed continental origin of their ancestors." (Author Unknown)
Why does she remind me so of Viola Davis?! Her speech, her body language...
Precisamos acessar em PORTUGUÊS DO BRASIL, POIS NÃO PUDE ENTENDER NADA INFELIZMENTE
She actually does 🤣😅🤣 look chinese 📢🖤👑
Hakka is not an ethnic minority in China. It's part of the Han Chinese majority race.
Pig Killer there are 56 ethnic groups in China in which Han is one of them. China recognizes 55 ethnic minority groups within China in addition to the Han majority. Hakka is a group under Han.
She looks like a very tanned Chinese. Zhu Pu is the family tree registrar... Not juck pu...
If you read it in Mandarin, it's Zhu Pu. However, if you read it in Cantonese, it is called "Juck Pu".
Mytube Zupu is the pronounciation in mandarin, in hakka pronounciation it can be juckpu or joc pu which means register of clan (族谱）. I'm Chinese Hakka too, my grandfather left Guangdong province in Meixian 梅县100 years ago and settled down on a French island. I'm proud to be Chinese.
@@wunderbarmajor5285 her grandfather was Hakka not Cantonese.
Speech is good except for the "right on black people". For someone who is looking at the roots I understand excitement to find family but the "pro black" is old and tiring to hear. How about instead of racial "pro black" being more "pro human". Just be happy that there is family and you are all together. All humans are related and you can tell she is racially charged to a point but the "right on black people" slang. It's disappointing to hear this and no wonder why other groups (white) get tired of hearing this. Get over being black already...enjoy being human and get over the racial thing already. -- I understand she goes on to say "race doesn't matter" but by saying "right on black people" she is saying race matters. Very inconsistent.
+John D I must have missed her saying this, but if she did say this, she was speaking to her own people, which she has a right to do. Race does matter right now, unfortunately, and trying to gag people only makes it worse. Trying to keep a lid on a boiling pot only makes it explode latter on.
When race doesn't matter anymore, then I'm sure she'd gladly never say anything like that again. I would say she is doing the opposite of what you're claiming by telling her story and finding her family. This is what racial healing looks like--acknowledging the pain and oppression and then moving forward.
I was only using her own words. "Race doesn't matter"....and then "right on black people". Seems more towards the hypocrite form than anything else. It's seen all the time but whatever. Go ignorance.
