Honoring Our Past to Shape Our Future

Whatchu Thinkin? Salon Talks with Sy Robinson

What does it mean to truly honor the legacy of those who came before us? Join me, Sy Robinson, as we unpack the profound influence of black women on the concept of legacy. Drawing from the life lessons imparted by my mother, grandmother, and cousin, we explore essential values such as self-belief, hard work, family importance, and self-protection. We're joined by Dr. Sheree, a Counseling and Student Personnel Services expert, who shares her perspective on how our actions, resources, and unique gifts contribute to the stories we leave behind. Sheree also shares the powerful legacy of her maternal grandmother, a respected leader whose wisdom continues to guide us.
This heartfelt episode is a tribute to the resilience and strength of our ancestors. Through personal narratives, including the inspiring story of my grandmother, Minnie Pearl, we highlight themes of leadership, persistence, and the significance of Juneteenth in the ongoing struggle for freedom. As we celebrate the joy of receiving and the importance of giving back, we encourage acts of service and a deep understanding of our history to appreciate where we come from and where we're headed. Join us on this journey of reflection and gratitude, as we strive to be a blessing to others and recognize the legacies we are building every day.

Every Experience is an opportunity to grow… Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!
