@RootAndSeedCo is here to help you do just that! We understand how rare it is to truly get to know our family history, so we've created an app that helps families explore and share their histories and traditions through unique conversations and a user-friendly interface.
Jenn Siripong is the co-founder of Root and Seed, an organization intended to help end the loss of tradition by documenting family history and culture. Learn more by reading her interview with writer Charlie Mangan!

@RootAndSeedCo@Kickstarter And the best part? @RootAndSeedCo has already surpassed their goal on the first day! This is a testament to the impact that this app and these conversation cards are having on families around the world.
@RootAndSeedCo But that's not all! This week, @RootAndSeedCo launched a @Kickstarter campaign for physical conversation cards that seamlessly integrate with the web app. These cards provide a hands-on, interactive experience that brings families closer together and helps them connect.
@RootAndSeedCo We're proud to say that we helped build the first version of the @RootAndSeedCo app, which includes digital conversation cards, voice recording, and image uploads, making it easy for families to keep track of their past and create meaningful memories for future generations.
There is this idea that our liberation did not come from ourselves.
That we didn't fight for it ourselves.
Why would they not teach us that?
Not teach us power?
I'm always looking for narratives that put my cultures at the centre of it.
