What did America pass down to us — and what do we do with it now?
Join me for historical deep dives, cultural archaeology, and family stories that challenge what we thought we knew.
A good story doesn’t just reveal the past — it reminds us how deeply connected we really are.
I'm Danielle Romero and my content is all about exploring the nuances of American identity and unearthing hidden historical narratives. My great grandmother Lola left her heritage behind in Louisiana when she moved to NY in the 1930s. Last year, I decided to uncover our family story and begin finding our roots. I'm still on the journey of hidden heritage, genealogy and finding out how our family history fits in the context of community history!

I'm on my 13th draft of my book, and doing it on my typewriter. It's hard to slow down, but when do we ever take the hard road on purpose?

A few years ago, I went to Louisiana FOR THE FIRST TIME, and met my extended family. If you are reconnecting with your roots, wherever they are hidden, take that scary step forward. I'm planning our first scheduled live stream, and I want to focus on your family stories and questions. I'll discuss them live and we can crowdsource some research. What are you working on right now? Stay tuned for this week's livestream info!Everyone deserves to know where they come from. :)

so I’m headed to Atlanta in 2 weeks to be a guest on the NAH (Not All Hood) podcast 👀🎙️
It’s hosted by Malcolm-Jamal Warner (theo huxtable!!), Candace Kelley, and Weusi Baraka. I’m not gonna lie… I’m a little intimidated! I’m thinking about livestreaming parts of the trip and definitely planning to take a bunch of photos to bring y’all along with me. Also is it too weird to ask for Malcom's autograph? 🥲
