Find Your Roots
20
Have you grown up wondering about family stories truth?
Have you ever heard "we have Indian in our family" or been told a story of a family hero, legend, celebrity or of family living far away... or maybe you've been told nothing at all.
I first started when my then 2 years old niece would ask questions about family members and I didn't have a single answer. My family isn't as close as I'd like; there's secrets and a lot of hurt-- but the shock of the truth is worth every moment once you get to the good that came out of it-- you!
Every family has a unique history that can give valuable insight on why we are how we are. Everything from a passion you have, the way you may stand or walk, activities you're drawn to, foods that attract you, that one crooked finger.... So many things that we don't pay attention to could mean so much!
I will help you begin your journey for truth-- be prepared for anything!
