Ep: 14: Navigating/Utilizing Resources Pt. 1: Understanding city resources & utilizing the skills within your network
We are glad to be back! Episode 14 of the Between Us & Y’all Podcast is available for your listening pleasure.
Really grateful to have my good friend and amazing Mama Keitra Bates and her son Baraan to join us for this episode. They joined us to begin a conversation on Navigating Resources. We are specifically focusing on understanding how city resources work and really understanding what utilizing the skills within your network means. How appropriate is this topic in a time like this?
As we aid in raising our young men and women, there is an assumption that they will automatically learn how to navigate and benefit from the resources offered within their city, State, etc. when they are on their own. This is however a skill that needs to be explained in great detail early on, especially in a society plagued with things like gentrification, red-lining, etc. As their first teachers, we owe it to them to include this important topic in our family conversations. We also owe it to ourselves as parents to benefit from the resources available around us in every way.
Mama Keitra and her young man were a joy to learn from. They were very laid back and full of pure wisdom. We shared laughs and great discussion. This conversation was amazing. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
**A little about our guests: Mama Keitra is the founder of ‘Marddys’ shared kitchen facility (featured on NPR and other local news stations), a wife, mother, community advocate and friend. (Find more information at marddys.com) Baraan: 15 year old game developer and rising high school Junior. Family motto: “Who’s job is it?” (If you don’t do the job, you’re leaving it for someone else)
