About the Webinar

Join Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation, Founder of the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition and a Founding Member of the Gullah/Geechee Fishing Association on a cultural heritage journey through the Sea Islands from Jacksonville, NC to Jacksonville, FL.  Learn how native Gullah/Geechees center the traditions of their ancestors in their sustainability practices that mitigate harm to our marshes, land, and waterways.  Queen Quet will engage in an interactive dialogue about the "Greening Gullah/Geechee Communities" project and the South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative which she and the Gullah/Geechee Sustainability Think Tank are an active part of and how these endeavors honor the blood, sweat, and tears of her ancestors that flow through the southeastern coast.
