Eric "Mubita" Sheppard is a U.S. Air Force veteran, family historian, and the visionary founder of Mubita LLC in Williamsburg, Virginia. We open on Eric's early life in Baltimore and the events that led up to his spiritual genealogy quest, one in which he was guided to the slave narrative of an ancestor unbeknownst to him, Moses Grandy. Born into slavery in North Carolina, we hear of Moses' life [1786-1843]: working the canals in The Great Dismal Swamp; the nightmarish death of his brother; cruelties of slavery; and finally, buying his freedom. Eric tells of guiding trips to Lake Drummond to share this history with the likes of formerly incarcerated men. We end on Eric's profound trip to Zambia where he met the Litunga [king] of Barotseland & founded a partnership to connect descendants of American slavery - especially in Virginia - to their African heritage.
