    Chatting on The Simone Feiler Podcast in this episode, Valerie Howell takes us behind the scenes of her deeply personal journey to uncover the truth about her grandmother, Jessie.

    Valerie’s book, Jessie, Finally Your Voice Is Being Heard, reveals the heartbreaking story of a white child forcibly removed from a black camp in 1906 and the long-lasting impact of that trauma.

    Valerie, who spent decades researching her grandmother's life, shares the emotional process of piecing together police reports, historical records, and personal stories to give Jessie the voice she was denied. Valerie also reflects on her own life, from her early career in banking to her passion for art and portrait painting.

    Tune in to hear Valerie discuss this labor of love, her dedication to honoring Jessie’s memory, and the powerful lessons she uncovered along the way.
