She honors the stories whispered to her by her mother; she adorns her body in her grandmother’s textile work; she elevates the memory of various named and unnamed Black women of the diaspora and documents the iconic small Civil War era styled white wooded praise house on a patch of land off the side of a road in South Carolina not far from Beaufort creating an intimate body of work of color photography of an interconnected history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book about female figures—grandmothers, mothers, daughters, artists, caregivers, storytellers, and cooks—explores a range of emotions that consume us about family life and history. It is both an art book and a memoir. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdama Delphine Fawundu is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY of Mende, Bubi, and Krim descent.
