    SE02_EP13: BLACK MUSIC MONTH

    June is Black Music Month and in this episode we hearken back to sweet memories that are tied to some classic artists and their music.  A world without music is a world without rhythm and our music has not only given us  a chance to two-step but it's also given us different ways to communicate and learn from the lyrics of songs.  Hip Hop, a genre most love, will be 50 years old in 2023.  We talk more about crime and the negative effects of music.  But, can Hip Hop hold of that weight??  Tap in to find out! And as always, #stayrooted

    SE02_EP12: THE BLACK ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

    Hey family!  We're back with another episode.  In this episode, we touch base on The Black Athlete Experience.  We sit down with Shay Hodge who's a Mississippi native.  Hodge played for Ole Miss and was afforded the opportunity to play in the National Football League!  Shay was able to share a lot about his upbringing and the reason why he chose to attend a PWI versus an HBCU.  We discuss how the community plays an important role in a Black athlete's life and the importance of keeping that tradition going.  We know that there are a lot more things that we can make a career out of but we seem to gravitate to sports and entertainment often and our cousin Shay shares a lot more.. So, tap in and tell a friend and as always - #stayrooted.

    Hey cousins!    We are back at it again with social scientist, Dr. Cruz.  We had to sit down with her again because the conversation was too good the first time around.  We touch on family structure in the previous episode but this one we are talking all things DISCIPLINE.  Spare the rod, spoil the child.. Are whoopings hurting or helping?  Who truly suffers in the long run - the parent or the child?  Is suffering the correct way to put it? We get deep in this conversation and look forward to your input and shared experiences while tapping in with us!   Enjoy and as always, #stayrooted.

    SE02_EP09: ROOTS

    We all have a desire to know our origin story.  Most of us find ourselves in the history of our lineage.  In this episode, we tap into another realm and dig into the dirt of our family history.  Ashley and Kimar sparked an interest of learning more about their family histories around the same time in the years 2016-2017.  They discovered that family history can take one further than any other history.  Throughout this episode, we learn why Kimar isn't a big fan of ancestry sites and Ashley shares part of her family tree with relatives that were born in the 1800s!  Whew... family, you're in for a treat with this one.  Our hope is that while we continue to journey through our family history - you too will commence or continue to find the origin of your family's history to strengthen our identities as a whole.  So, show ya love and tap in and as always family, #stayrooted!

    SE02_EP08: GENERATIONAL PATTERNS x FAMILY SECRETS

    Oftentimes, we live with things in the present from things that happened in the past.  Iyanla Vanzant used a term called, "cellular memory" where our bodies can remember the trauma from ancestors that leads to a continued cycle and/or patterns of secrecy within families.  In this episode, Ashley and Kimar dive into the dialogue of truth seeking and truth telling in order to break the patterns that do not benefit the individual nor the family. Tap in for more and share with more cousins around the world!   With gratitude,  thee family tree podcast #stayrooted

    SE02_EP07: LOVE LESSONS, Part Three - "SELF CARE"

    Hey cousins!  We've made it to the last part of our series entitled, "LOVE LESSONS".  We sincerely hope that you were able to learn quite a bit from these episodes for they were fun and revealing to make.  We oftentimes bog ourselves down with work and trying to create legacies for ourselves and those coming behind that we forget to take a breather and treat oneself.  This episode we talk all about care for ourselves.  We are indeed our greatest project so we have to make sure that as we build externally that we also build internally in the process.  Ashley and Kimar share a few things that they do and have done to care for themselves and share tips for others to utilize in order to create a sense of care oneself in this thing we call life.   So, tap in and show your love and as always, #stayrooted.

    SE02_EP06: LOVE LESSONS, Part Two - "SAYING I LOVE YOU"

    In part two of the Love Series, Ashley and Kimar discuss love in a different way.  Something we all know yet don't speak on enough.  SAYING I love you can be tough for many people.  Showing versus telling is always a good look but HEARING brings more reassurance of that love.  In part two, we talk about saying I love you to family members, friends and of course love interests.  So, tap in and let's learn to normalize saying, "I LOVE YOU" TOGETHER.  #stayrooted
