The Role of Women in the Gullah Community
In celebration of Women's History Month, the Democratic Club - South of the Broad is pleased to announce that our special guest speaker was Luana M. Graves Sellars. Ms. Sellars has developed a large local and national following for her Gullah articles and stories, which focus on the history and culture. As a result of the ongoing demand for access to over 200 previously published magazine articles and requests for speaking engagements, Ms. Sellars founded the organization Lowcounty Gullah (www.lowcountrygullah.com). Lowcountry Gullah fills the void for a central source and online location for Gullah information.
Ms. Sellars also hosts a weekly podcast (Lowcountry Gullah) that dives deeply into topics including information on the Gullah culture, history, and traditions. On her podcast, she interviews guests from a variety of backgrounds who are knowledgeable keepers of the Gullah Geechee culture. Ms. Sellars has a degree in Journalism and a minor in Black History from Southern Illinois University. She spends most of her days working towards "residential equality" for Hilton Head Island's local Gullah community as one of the Native Island Leaders.

DINING WITH DEMS

We need to start fundraising to ger ready for the next election! Dining With Dems is a lot of fun and a very important piece of our fundraising. You can help by volunteering to host a Dining With Dems event at your home. If you are interested, please use our Contact Form and Sally Nicastre will contact you.
We would really love to host some of these events in Bluffton. If you are one of our Bluffton supporters, we hope you will consider volunteering.
