Connecting with Gullah Geechee Communities in Florida
Visiting the community of Cosmo was such a rewarding experience. Being from Florida, I had never known or so much as heard of Gullah Geechee people. Being able to visit this community in the state of Florida was a different experience for me compared to the different places I was able to visit in South Carolina.
