Morgan Curtis is a descendant of several English families whose lineage of privilege and power is entwined with both Roman Imperialism and the colonization of America. With tremendous courage, wisdom, and humility Morgan goes deep into the stories of this heritage peeling back the common narratives of men to where she finds glimmers of inspiration from the hidden and unsung stories of the women in her lineage. From family grave sites to creek beds in New England Morgan describes rituals of intergenerational healing we can all learn from. By embracing both the shadow and beauty of her Ancestors lives she joins the growing national movement for reconciliation and reparations.Music Credits:Intro: Quincas Moreira - SilkwormCeremonial Prelude - Sir CubworthDolphin-esque - GodmodeDrifting at 432 Hz - Unicorn HeadsFloating Home - Brian BolgerForest Lullabye - Asher FuleroGlimpsing Infinity - Asher FuleroIcelandic Arpeggios - DivKidLost In The Forest - Doug Maxwell_Media Right ProductionsTrickling Up - Godmode
