What can a 7-year-old teach us about identity, culture, and belonging? More than you might think.
In this special episode of Between Two Worlds with Dr. Phebe, I’m joined by my youngest and most honest guest yet…my oldest son, Kwame.
Kwame and I explore what it feels like to grow up between cultures through the eyes of a child. From being Ghanaian and American to family traditions, names, school, and the little moments that shape identity, this conversation is funny, heartfelt, and surprisingly profound.
As immigrant parents, we spend so much time teaching our children where they come from. But how often do we stop to ask who they’re becoming?
His answers reminded me that bridging cultures isn’t just about passing down traditions. It’s about listening, staying curious, and allowing our children to shape the conversation, too.
Whether you’re an immigrant parent, an adult child of immigrants, or someone raising children across cultures, this episode will leave you smiling, reflecting, and maybe even reaching for the phone to call your parents…or your kids.
Because sometimes the greatest teachers are the little voices we’ve been trying so hard to guide.
