Words Make People

In this episode of 'The Family Ties, A Prescription for Society,' co-hosts Frank Abdul Shahid and Farida Abdul Tawwab-Brown explore the deep connection between family and society. They discuss the importance of reconnecting with nature, the powerful role of language in shaping family dynamics, and the essential balance of affections within family structures. Emphasizing the need for a nurturing environment, they draw on personal anecdotes, scripture, and the metaphor of trees to illustrate human development. The dialogue encourages the reevaluation of priorities to foster stronger family units which, in turn, build better communities.
