This poetry book contains fifteen poems and personal photos that offer a first person perspective on three deeply personal journeys of reconnection with the country of Mali, written by Madou Elijah Diarrassouba (Creator and Director of the Africa Told By Us Docuseries), Resheena Burch (Executive Producer of the Africa Told By Us Docuseries), and Lashanti Diarrassouba (MC of the Africa Told By Us Malian Showcases). Each writer shares their unique story, emotions, and experiences, forming a collective narrative that invites readers on a powerful emotional journey. Through vulnerability, reflection, pride, and healing, these poems celebrate the beauty and strength found in rediscovering one’s roots. Our hope is that these words inspire you to explore your own ancestral connections because in our roots, there is power. To support you in that journey, the book concludes with a dedicated journal section for you to reflect and write your own thoughts, experiences, and discoveries as you embark on your personal path of reconnection.
