October 16, 2020 "Never Made You Proud"
In the final episode of the Immigrant Parent - Child Dynamic series, Mercy and Lydia finish their conversation with Rome and it does not disappoint. The girls asks questions every minority child has thought at some point like: "do you know how much pressure you put on us??" and "how come you've never used our names and the word "proud" in the same sentence???" Rome answers truthfully with a wee bit of shade that is all too familiar. The girls and their guest share how they feel children and their parents are to reconcile the past and move forward, hopeful that this episode and the other parts of the series play a part. If you haven't listen to the other three episodes in the series be sure to check them out and then listened to them again. Emotional unpacking is advised***
