“The Chocolate Scoop Podcast Episode #8 – “And So, Yet Shall They Speak” A Presentation during Women’s History Month Nikki Williams, Producer and Host of “The Chocolate Scoop” is joined in an extremely informative and fact-packed conversation with Ms. Cheyney McKnight, Founder and Owner of “Not Your Momma’s History,” a firm that consults and aids museums, historical sites, historical societies, private businesses, etc. in developing specialized programming about slavery and the African experience within 18th and 19th century America.    Ms. McKnight speaks with passionate conviction about the need to preserve, document, and share and chronical the everyday narratives and traditions of enslaved ancestors of African descent.  Ms. McKnight is very intentional in her mission and devotion to letting the voices of every enslaved ancestor that she learns about be given space to be heard and remembered.  The demoralizing and depredating realities of people of African descent who endured chatteled lives are not given the same attention of those who as Williams phrased the term, “Celebrity Ancestors,” – Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and the like. “Not Your Momma’s History,” led by Ms. McKnight is a graduate of Simmons University and holds a bachelor’s degree in political history.  More information about “Not Your Momma’s History,” can be found on its social media pages as well as its YouTube channel which has over 200,000 subscribers and 5 million views. www.notyourmommashistory.com
