Episode 13: 

DIY, TRY OR BUY WITH YIESHA AND MEE HEE

Description - A Conversation Among Friends - What We Want for Our Sons

In this thought-provoking episode, Yiesha and Mee Hee delve into their childhood experiences and reflect on the contrasting ways they were raised. Despite the cultural variances, the most prominent disparity lies in the evolving times. Both hosts are navigating the challenge of raising technology-immersed boys who may struggle to grasp the significance of community and the presence of extended family in today's rapidly changing world.

This episode takes a closer look at the unique experiences of raising boys of color, particularly when residing in predominantly white areas. Sadly, the inherent racism and unconscious biases prevalent in society often subject their children to harmful stereotypes and prevent them from fully accessing certain opportunities. Through unfiltered discussions, Yiesha and Mee Hee expose the raw truth and vulnerability surrounding the realities they face, providing invaluable insight for listeners.
