Built or Bestowed: Who Owns Your Legacy?

Welcome back to Mama We Made It! with Dj & Reg. Today, they peel back the layers on the concept of legacy, unpacking whether it's something we create it or have it defined for us by others.  The duo discusses how their years in corporate America shaped, but didn't define, their sense of self or legacy. Dj considers the difference between achievements and true legacy—framing legacy as less about what you build and more about the impact and inspiration you leave behind for others, especially in community. Reg shares the powerful symbolism of receiving a "clean name" from his family and passing those values forward, emphasizing that his real legacy lives outside of job titles and more in the coaching, mentorship, and family traditions he upholds. Together, they riff on how the podcast itself is becoming a piece of their legacy—part of the broader tradition of Black oral storytelling, liberation, and authenticity.  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lmDpLm7j7bs  You can also listen to Mama, We Made It! with Dj & Reg on: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mama-we-made-it-with-dj-reg/id1809918939        Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/20eLaINMng2ISxB3TH6hED?si=ac880381abfd406f
