storyfinder + storyteller

Hi! I'm Siera, a memory worker. Through genealogy, oral history and archival research, I am tracing the stories of the Black community in the Finger Lakes Region from the early 18th century through the 21st. 

I am a proud native Ithacan, Cornell University graduate, UCLA MBA as well as an archivist-in-training embarking on an MLIS with San Jose State University. I live with my husband and two children in Southern California. When I am not digging into family trees, you can find me keeping up with the Bravo multiverse, visiting the ocean and plotting my family’s adventures.
