It was so excited to talk with our guest, Tangular Irby, or Gees Bend Made. She comes from a rich history of quilting and descends from Gees Bend Quilters. Tangular reads her book and shares some of her family quilts.
Tangular Irby is an education consultant and author. After caring for and eventually losing her mother to a terminal illness, she found herself reevaluating her own life’s purpose.
She is the host of the “Legacy of our African American Lives” podcast where she interviews African American entrepreneurs who are committed to leaving their families a rich legacy of more than just money. If we do not share our family traditions they die when we leave the earth.
Her mission is to help families bridge generational gaps through storytelling. She is the author of four children’s books and can be found at geesbendmade.com and on instagram @gessbendmade.
