This is a monumental day for the Gullah Geechee in Chatham County, GA (we “Highland” Geechee)! 👑
Chatham County announces Gullah Geechee Appreciation Week - Annually observed the final Saturday of July until the first Saturday in August! 💪🏾
As a Geechee ooman; the FIRST of my matrilineage (hailing from Savannah, GA) born outside of Gullah Geechee Territory (Philadelphia, to be exact), now residing in Henry County, GA, I extend my greatest gratitude for the continuous dedication of Queen Quet, “Head pun duh Body” of THEE Gullah Geechee Nation fuh alluh we liberation deh! 🫡
