Episode 6 - Reparative Genealogy & The Racial Wealth Gap

We are honored to launch the second series of Remembering Us with Briayna Cuffie and Lotte Lieb Dula who coined the term Reparative Genealogy, a practice of researching family lineage to understand each of our direct connections to slavery, and how to work toward repair. Through Briayna and Lotte’s stories we can plainly see the ongoing obstructions for some, and indisputable benefits for others, that have created and deepened the racial wealth gap throughout time.In this episode, we follow them both through their journeys of diving deeper into their family histories - the surprises, the throughlines, and intuitive unfoldings along the way. Throughout the episode their tangible connection to each other and to their purpose provide a living example of direct, interpersonal reparations.You’ll hear how together they’ve created an interactive website and portal Reparations4slavery.com for those looking to deepen their knowledge on reparative genealogy and reparations.
