The Power of Preserving Place: Gabrielle Eitienne

Speaking Broadly

Through her profound connection to her people and land in Apex, North Carolina, cultural preservationist Gabrielle Eitienne shares the importance of place and the power of archiving the wisdom of your community. Says Eitienne: "I was working in the food industry, I was doing pretty well. I had just gotten a really cool job offer and was climbing this ladder that on paper looked really good to me. I also felt that the real work that I needed to do was elsewhere." With that revelation, Eitienne moved home. Listen in to hear stories of family, gardening, juke joints, sack sausage, and love.
