This weekend, as we celebrate our freedom and also explore the things that can hold us back, we look to Tubman's life for lessons in faith and perseverance.
U-Turn, an ongoing video series hosted by Suzette Webb, is all about traveling inward and giving yourself permission to follow a new path.
In this first episode, Suzette draws inspiration from the life of Harriet Tubman, as 2022 is the 200th anniversary of the famous abolitionist’s birth.
Tubman’s life is a testament to freedom, and there is no more fitting time to celebrate her sacrifices than Independence Day weekend.
