Bayo Terry

Harbinger of Joy • Bearer of the Jumping Broom

Jumping the broom is a tradition rooted in African and African American heritage, symbolizing the sweeping away of the old and the welcoming of a new life together. Born from a time when our ancestors’ unions were not legally recognized, it became a powerful act of love, commitment, and quiet resistance. Today, our beloved niece Bayo, carries this legacy forward with love and pride.
