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? Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aubrey-jean/support

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"

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.
