Join Kenyatta and Janice Lovelace, a professional genealogist,  who not only has a degree in biology but who has worked as a clinical psychologist for forty years, sit down to talk about trauma and genealogy. 

Janice shares tips on how to process finding enslaved ancestors and learning what they went through, and how to give space to the fact that these ancestors in particular hold a weight in our lives, one that brings wounds to the surface, but that their stories desperately need to be told. Janice also delves into advice for those who have found out that they were families of the enslaved, and what to do in that situation.
