In this new year we start off with a fantastic conversation with Bree and Charles. In this episode we offer a glimpse into their  journey growing up in the United States with two unique histories.  From navigating growing up as a child of adoption, or a tri-racial woman they share insights from their unique perspectives. They also share raising children in a blended family and the challenges and rewards that brings.  Hear their reflections on the delicate balance of showing love to their children while maintaining  strength.

We also dive into the complexities of tri-racialism, child emancipation, and the uninvited touching or petting of themselves and their hair.  Through quotes such as "What you see is what you get," and "Hold my beer," they reflect on the  journey of progress, acknowledging that though they've come a long way, there's still a considerable distance to cover. 

With wisdom forged from hard lessons, the couple reflects on discomfort in the face of incomprehension and turning awkward moments into opportunities for growth. From questioning luck to the importance of every child needing their father, Bree and Charles deliver insights, emphasizing reciprocity in relationships and the enduring truth that "It takes a village."

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
