The Lowcountry Gullah Podcast serves as an essential audio archive dedicated to documenting and celebrating the foundational contributions of Gullah Geechee culture to American society. Hosted by award-winning filmmaker and writer Luana M. Graves Sellars, the series serves as a cultural bridge spanning the historic Gullah Geechee Corridor.
Through educational episodes and community interviews, the podcast explores ancestral connections, fights for land sustainability, and provides invaluable tools for genealogy and family history research. It is more than a history lesson—it is a vital movement for cultural preservation.

Her work in the culture has reached international audiences who, like her, are on a cultural journey of discovering their roots and the rich history that makes her so proud to call herself a Gullah Geechee American.
I’m excited to have found you…my roots go back to Goose Creek, which I didn’t know when I visited in 1993-4? I meet Marquette Godwin at the time. We became sort a like pen pals. Where is she?
Thanks for your email and I’m glad that you are enjoying the site. Marquette’s still on St. Helena
