'They did the best they could and gave us the best they had’. I have found this common concept professed when adults reflect on their relationships with their parents. But even then this is loaded with complexities, misunderstandings, and sometimes family traumas.
In this podcast our formidable guest, Jamila Periera, who is both a freelance journalist, poet, and workshop facilitator, addresses the intersection of race, ethnicity, and culture in the modern world. She shares her explorations of the dynamics of immigrant families, especially the complexities of adult parental relationships. In this conversation we consider how integral cultural backgrounds shape family expectations and interactions. A conversation for repeat listening!
