The powerful voice of our ancestors is within us and around us we just got to listen says Ms Illis. The Emilio Wilson Park is very secret and precious, we have to honor and show respect to our Ancestors who have walked that Park before us. I honor and respect their Greatness and that is why I do not wear shoes on the grounds of the Emilio Wilson Park.
