#Regina2RootsTech2018: As Creative Director of a Dance mediumship Agency and Professional Teaching Artist, I step UP my service to the Dance, amplifying the Ancestral wisdom of Dance mediums invoking their story, step-by-step.        #nzoCALIFAncestry is a Dancer's trek, guided by an Ancestral Sojourn, utilizing Genealogy as her tool to invoke Ancestral healing, restore Family Charters, strengthening Communal kinship and taking names! 
#workingmylines represents a legacy of Family History research cultivated by my maternal grandparents with my grandfather serving now as my Ancestral Guardian. Back in the early '91, my grandfather Claude Waters, Jr foresaw the impact of technology in the field of #Genealogy and research and envisioned my role being pivotal in forwarding our Family History and teaching it to our generations here and to come.

Seeking to raise funds to subsidize costs for this 4-day venture: Plane fare, Registration, and Hotel accommodations [this time across the street from the convention center] take advantage of DNA kits discounts or sponsor one for the community.

My sophomoric sojourn to RootsTech2018  will be a more keen approach to gathering resources and attending workshops specific to my services.  In addition, I have more of an appreciation of the trajectory of the works of field leaders and organizations of kinship that will serve as invaluable allies for my mission.  I'll carry with me burning research questions from clients and community members and delve a little deeper into de-mystifying DNA/Genetics/Genealogy - *squeal*

Can I just share with you the maverick /mentors mavenship of #BlackProGen mentors and members that will be on the scene?!

And TRUST there is a powerful cadre of specialists blazing trails and erasing 1870 research ruts in African-Ancestored Genealogy Research, Methodology, and Strategies. They stay present in the field and are invaluable experts -- Here's one of our own Bay Area faves advancing the Social media trek, with an impressive Family History trek, reporting from #Rootstech2017

Happy New Year 2017 - #workingmylines unearthing Family History Ancestral jewels while piecing together quilted stories from my Elders. I am further enlightened by the phenomenal pathways of Ancestor discovery and celebrated breakthroughs strengthening Family ties, deepening my inspiration in these works -- I'm ready to take it higher and attend:
>>ROOTStech 2017 February 8th-11th

Seeking to swiftly raise funds to subsidize costs for this 4-day venture:
Plane fare, Registration, and Hotel accommodations

Going to ROOTStech 2017, Salt Lake City, Utah represents a personal and professional milestone, which once started in 1993 making connections about the stories at my Maternal Grandparents kitchen table; we produced Family History books and coordinated Family Reunions.
My Grandfather's foresight was on point then; The advancement of technology swiftly opened gateways of information; I've traced 3 Family lines to a slave owner, researched 5 generations back on my paternal side and in this past year; I've conducted over 15 Communal kinship circles for research, with my first public on-site session in December at the African Diaspora Bazaar and Crafts Fair in Oakland, CA. 

A mission to amplify "the story", genealogy empowers my service works of Ancestral veneration and healing; I champion the field specializing in African Ancestored genealogy not only to fulfill historical gaps but to challenge diasporic scholarly perspectives, further impacting Teaching Artist modalities...ALL with a divine commission to fulfill a deep pact with my Ancestors.
THIS IS MY NEW YEAR'S VISION, TO DO WHAT I LOVE... I give thanks for your investment in this service that "gives praise to Life."

Love, ascension, and sweet progress,
