A Personal Story
That Shapes the Work
Kelsey’s own research uncovered documented lines of descent from the Plantagenet dynasty, Mayflower passengers, and early American patriots—names tied to power, colonization, and legacy. And yet, she was raised by a single mother in the working poor. This contrast—between royal descent and lived hardship—has shaped her trauma-informed lens. She approaches lineage not as a source of pride, but as a portal for truth-telling, healing, and reconciliation. Her work honors both the resilience of her ancestors and the harm some of them perpetuated. She invites audiences to explore ancestry beyond romanticism, and to hold space for complexity, rupture, and repair.
