    Life Choices and Family Paths featuring Mayor Jazzmin Cobble and Sandy Johnson

    Do you remember the previous episode of motherhood? We have switched the roles.  This episode of Across Generations poses thoughtful explorations with our remarkable guests, Sandy Johnson and Mayor Jazzmin Cobble. Sandy, a seasoned realtor, shares her journey of opting for a child-free life driven by personal health and career aspirations. Meanwhile, Mayor Jazzmin Cobble juggles the joys and demands of raising a family while leading Stonecrest, Georgia. Their stories open a window into the evolving societal norms and personal choices that define parenthood across different generations. In our chapter on multi-generational households, we reflect on the intricate dynamics and invaluable lessons such living arrangements offer, especially within the Black community. The skills honed by necessity in past generations stand in stark contrast to modern parenting approaches, and these generational shifts illuminate how past experiences shape today’s family decisions. We also venture into the realm of companionship later in life, examining how previous experiences and shared life stages influence our relationships and expectations as we age. Balancing motherhood, marriage, and a demanding public career is no easy feat, yet Mayor Jazzmin Cobble provides a heartfelt account of maintaining a strong marital bond amidst these pressures.

    Surviving Foster Care with Tyese Styles and Tawanna Brown

    What happens when the resilience of foster youth meets the power of advocacy? Join us as we engage in a powerful conversation with Tyese Styles, a remarkable entrepreneur and champion for foster youth, who shares her compelling journey from a turbulent childhood to finding stability and purpose. Tyese opens up about her experience of being removed from her home due to abuse at age nine and navigating multiple foster homes, which included facing further mistreatment. Her life took a turn for the better at age 13 when she found a nurturing environment with a foster mother, shining a light on the critical need for compassionate support within the foster care system.  Our discussion extends beyond personal narratives to examine the systemic issues many foster children encounter, particularly focusing on the experiences of Black youth. We highlight the inspiring story of 21 year old Tawanna Brown, whose involvement with the New Jersey Youth Council transformed her life, turning past struggles into a platform for empowerment. Despite the challenges and lack of resources in the child welfare system, the support of dedicated CASA volunteers and her relentless spirit guided her toward becoming a youth council coach. Together, we reflect on the societal changes needed to better support vulnerable children and question the role of various advocates in these efforts. This heartfelt episode is not just about survival but also about healing and finding one's purpose amidst adversity. We explore themes of overcoming trauma, forgiveness, and the enduring strength found in sibling relationships despite separations caused by foster care and adoption. As we recount personal stories, we underscore the importance of therapy, mentorship, and self-care in building resilience and reclaiming one's narrative. From personal reconciliation to professional aspirations, listeners are invited to celebrate the triumphs of those who rise above their circumstances and advocate for systemic change in the foster care landscape.   RATE, REVIEW, AND FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCAST ‌🎥 Watch Across Generations on YOUTUBE: Follow us on social media: ‌📱INSTAGRAM: Tiffany D Cross ‌Across Generations Podcast 🐦TWITTER/X: Tiffany D Cross ‌Across Generations is produced and edited by Idea to Launch Productions See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
