Miscellaneous
Our family and friends play a big role in our daily lives and also contribute to who we are as we grow. We are taught new things daily while growing up and are expected to behave in a manner that coincides with this. But have you ever felt that some things you were taught as a child, don’t necessarily fall into what you believe now? This is partly due to a generational gap that mainly affects the relationship between our parents. We often hear "that was the way my parents taught me," or "this is how my parents treated me." This can cause internal confliction within us because the world is not the same to us as it was to our parents. Many things have become a social norm to us that would have been considered taboo to our parents a decade ago. In this episode, Ciru Karanja sits down with her longtime friend and family member, Rachel Wanjema, and they discuss how this perspective has affected their lives and how keeping our parents accountable can help us and them adjust to today's world.
