Episode 3
Our aunties are the bridge between parent and child. They are wise storytellers within our families, friend circles, and communities and hold the riches of oral traditions that are too often undocumented and underappreciated. Whether it is gossiping at the kitchen table, teaching us how to be independent or sharing historic memory of a country’s independence, this episode seeks to bridge multiple diasporas with the commonality of archiving the everyday.
Featuring Myrtle Henry Sodhi, Felene Cayeteno, Aunt June and Miss Rose
