In this episode of On The Square, Sapelo Square’s Executive Director Latasha Rouseau talks with Tiffany Green-Abdullah, author of The Bean Pie: A Remembering of Our Family’s Faith, Fortitude and Forgiveness.

Delving into her family’s history reopened old wounds and uncovered past traumas that were lying beneath the surface. The results of her efforts is a testament to the healing power of faith and forgiveness.

Hailing from Chicago, she was a first-generation college student and has obtained multiple degrees, including a Bachelors in economics and a Masters of Education, both from Vanderbilt University.
