Goodwine, is a writer, lecturer, historian, and "artivist", who has travelled the world telling the story of the Gullah/GeeChee Nation, including addressing the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. She focuses on the preservation of the Gullah people's historic homeland and the uniqueness of their language which evolved from the combination of the various African languages spoken among slaves in the region.
