Being You- A Conversation with Olivia and Dallas Brown

We are almost to episode 40 and what is a better way to celebrate than to bring in more of my family? My grandparents had 5 children and 10 grandchildren (I am #5, Olivia is #8 and Dallas is #9). On this episode we discuss us getting to know each other as adults, race and their own identities and how that continues to show up for them; we talk family, the possibilities of establishing connection and what they know to be true about their parents. As a family, we have always connected these two together but they give a glimpse into who they are as sisters, with a shared upbringing but also who they are as individuals. 

Dallas is reading: "How Do We Know We are Doing it Right?: And Other Thoughts on Modern Life" By Pandora Sykes 

Olivia is reading: "Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones" by James Clear

A song that makes Olivia think about our grandfather is a jingle from Ross 

A musician that makes me think about our grandfather is Marvin Gaye
