1/32nd Cherokee Podcast

Exploring the unexpected in who we are... This podcast is about identity and expectations, especially what happens when expectations aren't met... According to family lore, my family is part Native American. But--what if we aren't? I'm Aubrey Jean, and I dive into discussions about family culture, identity, and when it's appropriate to appropriate. Also, what happens when part of our identity is stripped away? Who are we then?

    sucky saturday

    My family and I have some crazy stories, and I wanted to share a big one with y'all. We collectively tell a tale of "what the heck just happened" weirdness of a day.  From missed flights, to multiple cars breaking down, to a huge storm and a lost job. This is "Sucky Saturday" --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aubrey-jean/support

    Integration is not assimilation

    Eve and I talk about our DNA test results, but she has more experience at sleuthing when the results lead to more questions. She describes how her family members inspired her activism in her southern (confederate) town and how her grandmother's experience in Dachau gives her strength.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aubrey-jean/support

    I'll never stand with two feet in one place

    My favorite sister duo explain the nuances to being the token Asian in a friend group and in being perceived as a minority----though they are also half white. They discuss struggles with body dysmorphia and being asked to represent all the "other" races because of their skin tone. Part 2 of 2 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aubrey-jean/support

    Will they or won't they (be Cherokee)?

    My friend Jen and I have a similar story: we both grew up thinking we were part Native American. But after a DNA test, Jen's family discovered they were not as native as they thought. Jen and I discuss what it's like to have a cultural identity ripped away and when appropriation is appropriate. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aubrey-jean/support
