Pieces CBC Indigenous

Jeremy sits down in a talking circle to further discuss identity, lateral kindness, healing and the importance of doing the work of finding out who you are. And just a warning, this episode contains language that some listeners may find offensive.

The search to find and understand your identity can come in many places, both physical and emotional. Jeremy learns about how language, home, play, food and service can all impact someone’s journey.

Art and healing weave throughout Jeremy’s story. But how do those themes shape who we are? We move toward that answer through music and family roots.

The concept of lateral kindness is brought to Jeremy as a way to explore one’s own identity and offer support to Indigenous urban youths. Meanwhile, Jeremy’s mother, Carmen, checks in.

Jeremy’s identity journey evolves from one journey to an exchange of journeys through a discussion with a listener who reached out after season one. Their conversation centres around the question “what does it mean to be Métis?

After a profound period of growth, learning and listening, Jeremey's journey continues to a place of story sharing, reflection and a look toward the future in Pieces Season 2 -- arriving August 10th.
