Roots and Reflections Podcast

Greetings everyone! Welcome to another episode of Roots and Reflections! In this episode we look into being Black, Blackness, and the idea of identity reproduction. As a young Black woman I find myself wondering how best to manifest my blackness, with so many times in history to choose from and the daily experiences I encounter, developing a strong sense of self can be challenging. Join me in this episode as we reflect on our perspectives of Blackness with two surprise guests!

Hello and Welcome to episode 05 of Roots & Reflections podcast!We've been able to continue as a society because of the traditions, customs, and rituals that those before us have passed down. Some of these traditions were started by our parents and others by ourselves, but can we use traditions to heal generational wounds and connect through shared principles of traditions? Join the conversation as we explore how the traditions we grew up with and those around the world shape our choices and behaviours as young adults who have the the option of creating and discarding our own traditions and rituals. Join us for another midweek reflection session!This episode contains strong language. Listeners are advised.

Hello and Welcome to episode 04 of Roots & Reflections podcast!When you think about progress on a national scale, what criteria would you use? We live in a world where progress is often told to us and we don't get to define it in our own context (self and country). In this episode, we sit down and discuss what this phenomenon looks like and how we expect progress to look like based on where we have come from.Join the conversation and let us know what you understand progress to look like in your country and in yourself.EPISODE 04Join us for another midweek reflection session about how we judge progress in our lives!This episode contains strong language.

Hello and Welcome to episode 3 of our podcast: Roots and Reflections!Do you remember when we couldn't wait to grow up? We imagined how life would be in our 20s and we couldn't wait for the freedom! Now that we're here, we can hardly wait for the next decade, or the next, or the next. Why are we so impatient? What is it that makes us uncomfortable with being in a waiting room? Is it the silence, the loneliness, or were just not born that way? In this session we wanted to explore this virtue of patience. We wanted to find the root cause of our impatience and learn ways to manage and understand how and when to use it. Join us for another midweek reflection session about the weight of not being good enough.This episode contains strong language. Listeners are advised.
