Send us a text

Have you ever wondered how your family's past shapes your present? In this heartfelt episode of Life After 11, we promise an intimate journey through time as we sit down with my great uncle, Coleman Goldsboro. Uncle Demi opens up about our family's roots, dating back to the early European settlements in Talbot County, Maryland, in the 1630s. He shares touching stories about his parents, George and Ida Goldsboro, their life in Pocomoke, Maryland, and the poignant memories of siblings who passed away too soon. This chapter is not just about history; it's a tapestry of personal anecdotes that give you a deeper understanding of our family's legacy.

We then turn our focus to the life and legacy of my mother, exploring her passion for education, community involvement, and her courageous role in the civil rights movement. From desegregating local establishments to participating in Freedom Rides, her inspiring actions are a testament to her character and values. The episode also uncovers the rich heritage of Mo, tracing his lineage from Uganda to New Orleans and his connection to Native American ancestry. As we celebrate the resilience and diverse backgrounds of our family, you'll gain a newfound appreciation for the experiences that have shaped us. Don't miss out on this compelling exploration of identity, heritage, and legacy.
