Episode 100 is a celebration, but it’s also something more permanent: a legacy conversation with my granny, Adassa Brown, recorded on her 87th birthday trip to Hawaii while a massive storm rolls in outside our window. Between laughter, tenderness, and a few hard truths, we slow down long enough to capture the kind of family history most of us mean to record “someday” and then never do.
We talk about her childhood in Jamaica, what it meant to grow up with less, and how a rough upbringing shaped her shyness and strength. She remembers the people who raised her in all the quiet ways that matter, from her grandmother to cousins and friends whose names still live in her memory. We also get into her dreams of becoming a teacher and an agriculturist, her love of gardening, and the pride that comes from building a life through education, work, and community.
Then the conversation turns toward the wisdom only time can sharpen: how to tell who’s sincere, what love teaches when it doesn’t last, and why honesty and being true to yourself is non-negotiable. She shares what keeps her grounded through hard seasons, including prayer, silence, reflection, and learning to care for yourself without losing your kindness.
If you’ve been thinking about family legacy, intergenerational healing, telling stories that matter, or simply how to live a meaningful life, this one is for you. Listen, share it with someone you love, and if it moves you, subscribe and leave a review so more people can find this story.
