Where My City Grans At?

City-Gran (pronounced Si-ti-Gruhn) is a grandmother who should be home taking care of her grandkids but, instead, is out here running these streets. Parents are pressuring their children for grandkids, yet they want no part in raising them. We want that old thing back! The days when grandmothers stayed home and raised their grandkids and the neighborhood kids. The days when summer camp and day camp was a mythical place we saw on T.V. Where did we go wrong, and will we ever go back? Tune in as Ritha and Freddie talk about the City Gran crisis and the impact it is having on the next generation.

Ep. 5: Religion and Spirituality

Daddy issues. Often, when people hear the phrase "daddy issues," they think of a woman scorned, damaged, broken, and that is it. There is rarely ever further discussion, and there is usually no desire to unpack. Daddy issues. It's a phrase that is cited often but rarely ever broken down. What does it mean to have daddy issues? How do you recognize if you have "daddy issues"?  In this episode of Relatively Speaking, Ritha and Freddie talk about their experience growing up without a father and how that experience affected their personal and interpersonal relationships.
