How often have you heard about slavery from the perspective of the enslaved people who were forced to be there? In this episode, Brigette Janea Jones joins Nikki to talk about her experience of being the first Black tour guide at the Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville, TN. She chronicles her journey from being a visitor to tour guide to program creator to Director of Equitable Partnerships focused on intentional reparative action in the community as a result of the impact of chattel slavery. Can you imagine what our understanding of the human experience would be like if we had the opportunity to witness history from multiple perspectives? Jones’ pivotal Journey to Jubilee program humanizing the African American enslaved experience on the plantation gives us an idea. Brigette shares wisdom on how reframing and sharing a more full story of history has the unique ability to activate empathy across identity, generation and background.
