LIKE FAMILY: Relationships, Gate-Keeping, and Opening Space

  • Summary

  • In this episode, I share more about a quilt I call LIKE FAMILY. It's part of the Southern White Amnesia Collection, which explores the kinds of stories that Southern White families tell one another, or maybe more importantly, the ones they don’t tell one another about their own family history. You may have heard me talk about other pieces in the same collection on SEAMSIDE before, and if not, I'd encourage you to check out some of those episodes. So far, we've got SILVER DOLLAR, SNAKE HANDLER, OUR CHILDREN, and ONUS // ON US.

    In this SEAMSIDE conversation, we explore:

    ① an old Southern family burial ground

    ② why the phrase “like family” can often describe a one-sided view of relationships

    ③ a moment from THIS HERE FLESH by Cole Arthur Riley

    WHY LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE? This episode weaves together a vulnerable exploration of identity, history, and responsibility, providing listeners with a deep, reflective experience on how historical legacies impact our current world
