S6:E5 Google It!

First thing: Happy New Year to all of you and your families! This is our first episode of 2025. Based on many of our conversations, with others, Martha and I are concerned about the future of Griots in the African culture throughout the Diaspora. What I am poking at is the desire for people, in general, to search Google to measure the accuracy of realtime information shared during conversations. Google it is becoming the mantra - as Martha would say. When our elders or gamily Griots share information, they pass on what they know and how experiences impact circumstances. We are concerned that Google might significantly hurt our culture and traditions. Martha and continue to apply Old School Thoughts to situations because if we don't pay attention, significant lessons will vanish from our traditions and cultures.
