Description

In this powerful episode, I interview archival consultant and memory worker Dominique Luster to explore the sacred responsibility of preserving Black stories. From the emotional complexity of storytelling to the importance of naming our grandmothers, this conversation dives into legacy, lineage, and the radical act of remembrance. You’ll walk away with deep insight into how personal history shapes identity—and how to become an active participant in your own story.




Key Takeaways:




  • Why “intent doesn’t equal impact” in storytelling




  • The spiritual and emotional power of knowing your ancestors by name




  • How family naming patterns and inherited roles shape our identities




  • The archival process of deciding what is preserved—and what is forgotten




  • What Dominique learned from a 90-year-old WWII veteran about legacy and courage
