Episode 3
In Conversation with Ade Solanke Part 3
“Politely, they’re called ‘hidden’ stories, but they’re literally buried or erased. We don’t lose voices; they’re silenced and shunned. So, it’s interesting to see more and more people willing to be open to the other stories that have been excluded from the ‘mythmaking’, the origin story, in England and in America.” - Ade Solanke
“I’m pretty determined to make sure that Phillis is remembered and that her story is honored, actually, because I think it is a duty to remember the people who contributed to the culture, to the struggle, and to the advancement of humanity.” - Ade Solanke “I would love to be a fly on the wall 250 years from now because that’s the other thing that makes this story interesting. Not just then, not just now, but tomorrow, what will this story contribute to the continuing expansion of our human story?” - Ade Solanke |
