On this episode, Tamara sits down with a very special guest: her wife! Darnita B is a multi-talented artist, designer, and author known for her captivating and bold creations. Darnita has selected the hit show Wednesday as the inspiration for the conversation. In "Wednesday", we see the students of Nevermore struggle with their relationships with their parents, who seem to prioritize their own desires over their kids well-being. As Darnita and Tamara discuss the show, they'll dive into the complex world of parent-child relationships, explore the concept of abandonment and how it can affect children, as well as the importance of knowing our parents as people outside of their role as a parent.
