Send us Fan Mail Between Worlds: Identity, Legacy & the Power of Storytelling with Lucy Wilson Tagoe What does it mean to grow up between cultures—and how do our family histories shape the people we become? On this episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, I’m joined by author Lucy Wilson Tagoe for a meaningful conversation about identity, belonging, migration, family, and the power of storytelling. Lucy shares her experience growing up between London and Texas while honoring her Ghanaian heritage as the daughter of a political refugee. Her multicultural upbringing shaped the way she understands identity—and ultimately inspired her writing. We talk about her novel, The Legacy, and how family history, cultural identity, resilience, and the choices of previous generations can continue to influence our lives. We also explore why representation in literature matters and how stories can preserve culture, foster empathy, and help us see ourselves—and one another—with greater understanding. In this episode, we discuss: 🌍 What it means to navigate multiple cultural identities 📖 How family stories preserve history and connect generations ✨ The importance of seeing yourself represented in literature 🌱 How migration and family history shape identity 💬 Why storytelling can create empathy and understanding 🧡 How embracing our roots can help us understand where we're going Three Takeaways 1. Our cultural identities are strengths—not obstacles. 2. Family stories are a powerful way to preserve history and create connection across generations. 3. Literature can build empathy by inviting us into experiences and perspectives different from our own. Whether you're an educator, author, parent, cultural storyteller, or someone navigating life between cultures, this conversation offers a beautiful reminder: Our stories matter. Our history matters. And understanding where we come from can help us better understand where we're going. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast. 📚 Learn more about Lucy Wilson Tagoe and her novel, The Legacy: 🌐 lucywilsontagoe.com 📖 The Legacy: Dylan Allen Books 📱 Instagram: @lucywtagoe If this episode resonates with you, subscribe to The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast and share it with someone who needs this reminder: your story is part of your legacy. #TheCulturalCurriculumChat #LucyWilsonTagoe #TheLegacy #CulturalIdentity #Belonging #Storytelling #RepresentationMatters #MulticulturalIdentity #GhanaianHeritage #FamilyStories #CulturalCompetency #Authors #InclusiveEducation Support the show COME SAY Hey!!

Send us Fan Mail What happens behind the camera when the world is watching? In this episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™, I sit down with Emmy Award-winning journalist and author Amjad M. Tadros, whose more than three decades in international journalism took him behind the scenes of wars, political upheavals, terrorism, and major global events across the Middle East. Amjad worked as a producer and fixer for CBS News and 60 Minutes, serving as a crucial bridge between international correspondents and the communities they were reporting on. His memoir, The Fixer: A Journalist’s Accidental Journey Through the Middle East, reveals a side of journalism most audiences never see. We talk about what a fixer actually does, the importance of cultural context in reporting, what Western audiences often misunderstand about the Middle East, the human stories behind conflict, and how journalism has transformed from satellite television to social media and artificial intelligence. Most importantly, we explore a question at the heart of cultural competency: What happens when we tell stories about people without fully understanding their culture? Join us for a fascinating conversation about journalism, culture, storytelling, technology, and the people who make the world's biggest stories possible. Learn more about Amjad Tadros here: Amjad M.

In this unforgettable episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, host Jebeh Edmunds sits down with author Brigid Kennedy to discuss ancestry, storytelling, creative courage, and the incredible true family mystery that inspired her bestselling novel, LOST — The Lost City of Incan Gold. Three years ago, Brigid’s grandmother appeared to her in a dream with a request: write the family’s real history. At the time, Brigid was a violin teacher, a mother, and someone who had never written a novel before. Despite every reason to doubt herself, she said yes. That decision led Brigid on a journey through Ireland, Peru, family archives, and the mysteries of the Amazon rainforest to uncover the story of her great-grandfather Robert Patrick Kennedy, an Irish treasure hunter who disappeared during his final expedition into the Amazon and was never seen again. This conversation explores what it means to reclaim family stories, trust creative intuition, and pursue the dreams that refuse to leave us alone. Listeners will walk away inspired to finally say yes to the thing they have been putting off. 🎧 Tune in now for a conversation filled with history, mystery, culture, legacy, and inspiration.
