In Awakening from the Echoes of the Past, we explore Stacia’s transformation from 2000 to 2025. From the quiet rumble of the Quill to the deep impact of 10-10-10, we trace how memory, gender, and governance intertwine. Featuring reflections from Governor Francis, historians, elders, and heritage experts, this episode uncovers the emotional legacies of post-emancipation grief and the unspoken costs of resilience. What happens when silence is no longer enough? How do women lead, heal, and preserve in the face of historical fracture? Through personal truths and public shifts, we ask what it takes to move from survival to liberation and how the echoes of the past can guide a freer future.
