Research & Revelations from the granddaughter of John Fields, formerly enslaved runaway with the spirit of entrepreneurship.

“His-story inspires people of all races and walks of life. My great-great grandfather, John Fields, was a formerly enslaved runaway with an open heart and spirit of entrepreneurship. He lived passionately working and serving his community until his last breath at 104 years old.”
— Kim Bettie

Thank you for visiting my historical journal and documented discovery of my great-great grandfather’s life lessons before and after enslavement. I’m sharing my research and revelations to inspire, motivate and transform.

Blogumentary: The Power of Creating Safe Spaces for Diverse Stories

 
 
 

I’m kicking off a new blogumentary series during Black History Month 2024. It's been two years since my first blogumentary during Black History Month 2022 where I launched a video project based on my blog, Research & Revelations, about my great-great grandfather. This year, I plan to share a series of videos as the research and revelations flow from the intersection of a blog I posted, an article in the Lafayette Journal & Courier and a very transparent comment posted on my Facebook page. My purpose is to connect the dots and demonstrate the power of creating safe spaces for diverse stories and how doing so has the potential to inspire positive change. It is aligned with my manifesto and community workshop series, launched in 2021, titled Diversity Intelligence is the New Emotional Intelligence.
