Identity, Ancestry, and the Journey Home with Queen D. Michele

What does it mean to come home—not just to a place, but to yourself? For many, “home” is a simple word, a fixed dot on a map, or a set of familiar faces. For others, it’s a question that lingers in the background, quietly shaping every decision, every risk, every mile traveled. Imagine uprooting your life and crossing not just borders of geography, but the invisible lines of identity, ancestry, and soul.

Imagine standing on the soil of your ancestors, feeling the pulse of a lineage you never truly knew, and asking yourself: Where do I belong, and who am I when I get there? Tonight’s journey is about more than passports and plane tickets. It’s about the courage to seek belonging in unfamiliar places, the vulnerability to question the stories we’ve inherited, and the profound transformation that happens when we follow the breadcrumbs of our own history.

Our guest, Queen D. Michele, has lived these questions—each border crossing a step closer to understanding the meaning of “home.” Her story invites us to reflect on our own roots, the boundaries we cross, and the ways we might finally come home to ourselves.
