Mary's journey to find and see her mama again. During tthat time as a free slave. Mary felt compelled this trip was worth taking. No matter how long it took. Mary also adjusted into life -changing experiences. Until she reached her destination and started a new freedom life style for better days to come. I am sure the situation was fearful. But Mary pushed through, conquered and triumped in the end. Because of her faith in the Lord. Wherefore Mary achieved her ultimate goals safely. .

I'm not even 2 and a half minutes in and I have to pause the video to take deep breaths. I feel like crying hearing what some people had no choice but to endure. On the upside, it motivates me to push through challenges because at least I am not someone's slave. I'm so heartbroken for those people though; who whips a baby to death????😱😭😭😭

Just listening to this…Wow. I’m lost for words, truly. It’s heartbreaking just listening to her words (I’m sitting here in tears). My people have endured soooo much. I’m saying about a million prayers right now for all those innocent souls that never made it and for those that did, for their endurance. If it wasn’t for their endurance none of us who’s ancestors were slaves and made it through, would exist. I thank them from my core, eternally 🕯️ 💁🏾♀️✌🏾❤️📿🇬🇧

That was Golden.

Just heartbreaking

For me, also, I’m glad that this lady was able to fight back. It’s interesting after listening to these that it seems like folks tried to keep slavery open like some hidden secret.

So, did someone cruel learn their lesson with a rock in her eye? We'll never know. 💋

We’re listening to Bible prophecy, Israelites ❤

And the saga continues. Just in different forms. Judgment Day is going to be intense for those who haven’t repented💯
