The Courage to Love: A Conversation with Sr. Seyram Mary Adzokpa, SSF
This episode features Sr. Seyram Mary Adzokpa, who is originally from Ghana. At 30-years-old, she is currently the youngest Sister of the Holy Family. Her congregation is an African-American religious order that was founded by a free woman of color, Henriette DeLille, in the 19th century. As a novice, she continues to use her gift of nursing to care for her fellow sisters. Sr. Seyram Mary initially received her call to religious life in an unexpected and providential way.
