How do our inheritances shape our lives? In this week’s narrated
essay, Afro-Taína author Jamie Figueroa brings her pen to the
erased and fragmented pages of her family’s history, exploring
writing as a tool of revelation and reclamation amid a legacy of
assimilation into white colonialist culture. As she works to
uncover the inherited wounds of her ancestors housed in her own
bodily cells, she also reaches for a deeper remembering—writing her
way into the landscapes and the cultural memories that bring
together pieces of her identity. Read this essay. Learn more about
our upcoming immersive exhibition in London this December. Reserve
