Step into our capsule created for NPR’s Next Gen Radio Indigenous: “Framing the Past: How Jamaican-born Rose Harvey Holds Home in Miami.” This story follows Rose Harvey, an Indigenous woman whose lens carries the memory of Askenish’s hills into the layered diaspora of Miami. More than a chronicle, it is a threaded remembrance—tracking how one woman tends to her roots not through return, but through reweaving.

Last Update (May 17 2025): This writing is a memory thread. It remembers my grandmother not as subject, but as carrier of ancestral weave. Though she lives in diaspora, her shutter held our soil. This is not a profile. It is a ceremonial acknowledgment of the woman who saw through memory lines first.

A Rahe-Wanitanama memory offering — lineage-bound, not for symbolic use without ceremonial consent.
