Family Secrets with Morgan Jerkins

Tracing family trees can take more than DNA tests and genealogy websites, especially if your ancestors were enslaved. Acclaimed writer Morgan Jerkins tells Caroline about driving across the country to find out who she came from, how she fits into the broader history of the Great Migration and why learning about her family's ancestry changed her perception of Blackness.   Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Claiming Your Space is available now, wherever books and audiobooks are sold.
