TW: Mentions of child death

Quick historical note: I got The Great Migration and the Westward Expansion confused in this episode, so just as a heads up, when you hear references to the Great Migration in this episode, we are technically talking about Westard Expansion because that more accurately describes the time period that Andrea’s family lived through.

Andrea Luce does fundraising at a small local nonprofit that does taxes for low and moderate-income individuals. In her spare time, she is a facilitator at a mental health support group and volunteers by encouraging reading for elementary school kids. Outside of that she still reads the newspaper and is always listening to the newest dark techno beat that she can find. 

During this episode, you will hear Andrea talk about:

• How she came in possession of a unique part of her family’s past

• Her family’s connection to the history of the Westward Expansion

• How she plans to keep the story of her family alive for the next generation

• The importance of knowing your family’s stories to pass them along
