​​Rev. Paulette Sankofa will be with us on Friday, June 12, at 7 p.m. to speak on her new book with a subtitle of "St. Louis Women Quilting, Culture & Hope."  In Acknowledgements, Barbara Nash-Herschbach writes "This project is a living testament to the artistry, resilience, and cultural legacy of women aged 50 and older across diverse ancestral backgrounds. Though quilting, storytelling, and shared experiences, these women are not only stitching fabric but also weaving together the narratives of identity, community, and hope...by uplifting the voices of mature women, fostering educational and cultural enrichment, and inspiring future generation to embrace their heritage with pride…which exemplifies the power of women in their (second act) to create, teach, and lead with wisdom and grace.  The stories of St. Louis women come from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Some of the 11 quilters involved in this project are Teajuana Mahone with Southern roots, a Cherokee Indian quilter, a political refugee who fled the Soviet Union, and our own Shelbe Bullock with a life stitched in spirit and story with foundations in enameling copper items, making rosaries, and creating jewelry.
