RESTORING LIGHT PODCAST

The Restoring Light Trilogy offers a powerful and transformative exploration of slavery, its historical impact, and the enduring strength of African-Americans. With its three groundbreaking works—Overcoming a Dark Past, From Chains to Change, and Slavery Is Not My DNA—this trilogy invites readers to approach the topic of slavery with openness and understanding, fostering an environment for meaningful conversations and healing.

Through its pages, the trilogy reveals ten harmful practices inflicted upon captive Africans during slavery and traces their effects across each era of African-American existence, including the challenges faced in the present day. These practices, while devastating, could not break the unity, resilience, and brilliance of enslaved Africans, who overcame unimaginable afflictions and continued to progress throughout history.

Rather than focusing solely on the pain and division caused by slavery, Restoring Light shifts the perspective toward hope and healing. It emphasizes the strength of a unified community and the power of working together across cultural lines. Slavery sought to divide, but Restoring Light champions the belief that unity leads to strength and progress. It empowers readers to see that conversations about slavery, though often difficult, are a necessary step toward understanding, reconciliation, and growth.

The trilogy encourages readers to embrace the freedom that comes from unity and truth, fostering a space where discussions about our shared history can lead to collective healing. Through Restoring Light, readers will discover that the path to a brighter future lies in acknowledging the past, celebrating resilience, and building bridges across communities for a unified and prosperous tomorrow.
