Nappy Roots: The Homecoming

Nappy Roots The Homecoming is a powerful blend of fiction, nonfiction, and personal reflection that invites readers into a deeper remembering of who we were before the world rewrote our story. Part narrative, part historical truth, and part intimate meditation, this book follows a woman standing at the edge of a veil she never meant to lift, only to discover an ancestral lineage rich with genius, creativity, and wisdom. Instead of centering trauma, Nappy Roots centers truth. It restores the reality of a people whose history did not begin or end with the transatlantic slave trade. Through lyrical storytelling and researched history, the book honors us as descendants of stewards, artists, mathematicians, healers, philosophers, and memory keepers rather than descendants of suffering alone. As the story unfolds, readers move between past and present, witnessing a personal journey that becomes a collective one. Each chapter offers a rhythm of narrative, historical grounding, and reflective insight that invites readers to question what they have been taught and reclaim what was never truly lost. Nappy Roots The Homecoming is a return to self, a return to memory, and a return to the brilliance that echoes through generations. It is both a reminder and a revelation, a homecoming long overdue.
