In the 1800s, enslaved Black Americans in Edgefield, South Carolina created stoneware pottery that endures to this day. Most were never credited as artists. Only a few were able to mark their names or words into the clay.

Still, their hands spoke.
Their work survived.

Voice and authorship were not freely given to our ancestors, yet they found ways to be seen, remembered, and heard.

This space honors that legacy.

Hear Me Now in modern day can be where our community claims its voice, highlighting lived experiences with hereditary amyloidosis and telling our stories on our own terms.

Some stories are shared directly from our NextGen community. Others are lifted up and amplified here because they deserve to be heard.

We are still finding a way.
