“Our Origin Stories”
Why do we call each other “SISTER,” and what is our connection?
And what does that mean when we understand that it is not blood ties that connect us? (Or is it?) When did it become commonplace to pass each other on campus without acknowledging each other’s existence? When I received my results from Ancestry.com, I discovered a rich “family” history and was connected to many people/relatives I possibly would never have met.
Come out and discuss your stories and understand why we have been intentionally disconnected!
