Legacy

Episode 1: Keep it Blackity: Lessons from Grandma with Marion Watkins

Hosted by Mariah Michelle Season 1 Episode 1

For episode one of the Legacy podcast, I sit down with the matriarch of my family and discover how her personal story fits within the context of our family and society at large. We discuss black entrepreneurism, black history and so much more. 
 
In this episode, I get my grandma's thoughts on "The Golden Bachelor" (and whether or not she'd date a white man). I discovered my great grandfather was the first black multimillionaire mortician, and that my great grandmother could (and on occasion did) pass for white to enjoy a more luxurious lifestyle. 

Enjoy this conversation as I explore what it means to my grandmother to leave a legacy of good on the earth.
