What did America pass down to us and what do we do with it now? Join me for historical deep dives, cultural archaeology, and family stories that challenge what we thought we knew. I'm Danielle Romero. M. Ed., and my content is all about exploring the nuances of American identity and unearthing hidden historical narratives. My great grandmother Lola left her heritage behind in Louisiana when she moved to NY in the 1930s. I decided to uncover our family story and begin finding our roots. I'm still on the journey of hidden heritage, genealogy and finding out how our family history fits in the context of community history!
