Sukey & The  Mermaid

Thee, Thee, Down below, Come to me Mama Jo!

Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of Indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean. In this episode, we delve into the enchanting story of Sukey and the Mermaid. This tale, set on a little island off the coast of South Carolina, follows a young girl named Sukey who escapes her harsh life with her stepfather by befriending a magical mermaid named Mama Jo. Through trials, treasures, and a touch of magic, discover how Sukey navigates a world of wonder and peril, ultimately finding love and a new beginning.
