After scouring family memories and ancestry sites, I was able to track part of my lineage to the Choctaw Nation in Mississippi and am currently getting to know Native folks and practices in my local community.

As I learn, I find Native symbology and beliefs that align with beliefs I've long held as a Black Woman.

In Heritage Mandala, I situate colors, patterns, and symbols from both sides of my heritage into a single mandala representing the kaleidoscope of tools and perspectives available to me as I navigate this life.
