Everyday we hear different things in the news and our child also here.  On this episode I take time to get Cassie view on the hot topics of the week.  The first being DeAndre Arnold, the young man who would not cut his dreadlocks in order to graduate with his class.  He decided to change schools in protest to not cut his hair.  His actions has sparked a lot of discuss and a bill to be introduced in a bill to the Texas Legislation.

Then we move on to discuss the gender identification of Zion(Zaya) had.  She is the same age as Cassie, so I thought it was important to hear her perspective on that. 

Forming bonds are important in life.  Learning how to foster relationships the correct way is what allows us to share our life with others.  Learning how to support others with our words and actions is a part of life and growing up. Also, learning how to receive support and love is also important for a great life experience. 

There is a big difference between Adults and young girls concerning their hair.  Older ladies grow up on relaxers and ashamed of their natural hair.  Society at that time viewed natural has as ugly and. unattractive.  We were made to believe that straight hair was the best.  Thank God, our daughters, grand-daughters and nieces are growing up in a time where they are embracing  their natural hair and the beauty of it. 

This is our "why" we are doing the Podcast.   In today's world there are so many distractions and families are finding it difficult to communicate.  A quick text message here and there is not real communication.  Our kids are finding themselves having to deal with things some adults have not had to face.  This is our way of making it a little easier to have those conversations.
