Episode 84 - Welcome to the famed Top Ten Things Mama (Grandma, Auntie, Psudo Auntie) Taught Us. This is Monday’s BIG episode, every Monday. On Mondays we debut a Top Ten list on every topic under the sun called “The First 10s”. This week is entitled “The Top Ten Things Mama Taught Us".
Many children today experience high levels of stress and the pressure to preform or be the best at many things all at the same time. We are in a time where social anxiety is high and parents have high expectations for their children from a young age. In this episode of the First Tens, Joy starts the conversation off with the difference between childhood in the 80s and childhood today.
Along with these truths, Ashley and Joy discuss the things learned from Mama and the village of women who taught them. From the importance of girdles, building your cultural portfolio and being well-rounded to desiring entrepreneurship, Mama taught many things a book never could, Joy exclaimed. Including the fundamental idea of never forgetting where you come from and who you are as a unique person who belongs to a community. Ashley discusses having the ability to take care of herself (a.k.a. latch-key children), and the importance of willpower to keep going and not give up along with learning to level up. Not to mention the fashion sense learned from her Grandmother at a young age.
With these diverse topics you will not want to miss this episode of the First Tens.
Challenge Yo Self Ashley and Joy unveil their top ten EVERY MONDAY and challenge you to stop by anchor.fm/boldstandards to share your memories of childhood. Join us every Monday for a new list.
