An interview can be extraordinary or "almost" extraordinary. Debra Willis is an uncelebrated African American treasure who deserves to be interviewed as the genius that she is. The work Dr Willis has done, her love for her people and the clarity with which she shares her knowledge deserved the respect of the interviewer to allow her to tell her story without self serving untimely comments, well... almost doesn't count. Dr Debra Willis you and your work remain extraordinary!

Facebook daily enquirers as too; “WHAT’S ON MY/OUR MIND?”
54 years ago I awaken one morning in the middle of an African forest, there were many sounds about, I knew not what the were,,, wisdom comes from knowledge-wisdom came from knowledge... FAST FORWARD…
While researching my ancestor’s DNA history a big help for me was reading and studying the history of others; that which for the most part is White-washed...
I was also made aware that our ancestors done more than SING & DANCE which, in the older-days, was a means to survive.
BOTTOMLINE; The most difficult part ( see attached photo) was too acknowledge and revise; If you get my drift?
