Navigating family can be daunting. Some of our families are straight-up crazy. The amount of secrets, twists and turns is something straight out of a telenovela. Join hosts Ritha and Freddie as they dive into the good, the bad, and the messy aspects of dealing with relatives. Ritha and Freddie are both Haitian American women. Tune in as they discuss their experiences navigating life as a Black American and a Haitian-American.
The hope is that through open, honest, and candid discussions, we can move the needle forward, and begin to heal as a family and a community.
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.

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.
