This Breadfruit and Biscuits episode takes a new format and is a part of a 3 part series on sisterhood.  This first part explores the lighter side of sisterhood, highlighting the relationships of co-hosts Arielle and Kristen, as their sisters join us for a fun conversation, reminiscing on their childhood years and discussing how they've been able to maintain a tight connection, despite the long distances between them.

Come prepared to laugh! On this Breadfruit and Biscuits episode, our cousins Matthew and Scott take us down memory lane and discuss their childhood years, and how they've been able to lean on each other as they've navigated new seasons throughout each of their respective lives.

This episode is a continuation of the previous episode on the "Black Immigrant Experience of Race in America". In the previous episode, Arielle, Kristen, and Latoya have a conversation with their aunts regarding their experiences navigating race in the U.S as Jamaican immigrants. In this episode, our aunts discuss their experiences with raising Black sons in the United States. This led the hosts to reflect on their own childhood experiences, and discuss their hopes for raising children in America.  

During this breakout episode of Breadfruit and Biscuits, Arielle, Kristen, and Latoya have a conversation with their aunts to discuss their experiences navigating race in the U.S as Jamaican immigrants.  The girls then discuss their own experiences with race during their early childhood and young adult years, and share key lessons they hope will encourage more unity and understanding of the diversity of the black experience.
