Have you learned any powerful stories about the women in your family? Tell us about them!
-
When she said “I have blood that started it and blood that was enslaved by it.” Perfectly said!
-
“You are you’re ancestors wildest dreams.” Tamera exudes it ten folds.
-
The fact that she's crying shows how much of an empath she is, it's like she can feel her grandmothers pain as he spoke to her about it. Very powerful
-
Tamera exudes an innocence . She is humble and lovable
-
I can not believe she is 44 she looks so young.
-
We are our ancestors wildest dreams, wake up with gratitude everyday that you were brought here. I'd be going to the Bahamas.
-
This woman does not age. Been a fan since 'Sister, Sister' & always will be! ❤

I started crying watching her. So I'm going to pause and comeback. I watch the series he did on Africans in Latin America and it is so intense and overwhelming. It's like a five part video and I've only watched two DVD in two years. It's just so emotionally draining and liberating at the same time. Kudos to her for having the courage to find out. I don't want to no mine😢😢😢
-
As a Bahamian, this made me smile a bit seeing Bahamian history on the forefront. Slavery happened throughout the Americas
-
She had an amazing history on both maternal and paternal side of the family. I am sure she was blown away.
-
This was one of the emotional episodes for me. Love this program. Good for her. Wish I could have my own family traced.
-
She was in exact transition from leaving the final moments of childhood into the 1st moments of adolescence as she experienced transformation from being owned as a slave, to being no longer Human property, suddenly FREE. At the very bridge between Childhood to Adolescence.

Thank you Tamera for sitting down and doing this. We know it could not have been easy. Looking and learning about Black history is so important!!
-
This hits me because my 4th generation great grandmother Dinah Smith was born around the same time I found out that her and my great grandmother Wilhelmina left with my grandmother from the Bahamas back when my grandmother was very young as well.They ended moving here in nyc until they all died my 4th generation great grandmother was one of 45 black women to be aloud to vote here in nyc when voting started for women❤.This was an amazing episode to watch.

Thank you for using the word BIRACIAL! Please acknowledge just what people are.

Awww Tamera !! I miss seeing her daily on my tv screen 😍😍 such a beautiful person and presence
-
I understand exactly how she felt. My mother is Cherokee, Powhatan, and white. My dad is black. I've often wondered if my father's side had been enslaved by my mother's side. My mother's side has been traced back. It's been difficult tracing my father's side. All I know is that my grandfather's grandparents were enslaved. On my mom's side there were some Cherokee Freedmans too.
-
Rolle is a common Bahamian surname! I wonder if they could be related to Bahamian-American actress Esther Rolle! This is sooo cool!
-
It’s amazing how accurate these DNA ancestry results are!!!
