  • In this episode, Jenn and Daren dive into the rich and often overlooked topic of ancestor appreciation. Throughout the episode, Jenn and Daren emphasize the importance of acknowledging and honoring one's ancestors. They share personal anecdotes and practices, such as setting up altars and engaging in rituals that connect them to their ancestral roots. They argue that these practices are not only meaningful but also essential for a holistic understanding of self and community. The episode begins with Jenn sharing their experiences with organized religion, highlighting the transition from a strict Christian upbringing to a more nuanced understanding of spirituality that includes ancestor veneration. Daren adds his perspective, discussing the importance of finding what is real and true for oneself in the realm of faith and belief. In the Conversation, they delve into recent statistics about religious affiliation in the U.S., revealing that a significant number of Americans now identify as religiously unaffiliated. They discuss the implications of this trend, particularly among younger generations and LGBTQ individuals, who often leave organized religion due to its failure to meet their spiritual and ethical needs. In the Reflection, they discuss the broader implications of these trends, questioning the relevance of traditional religious institutions in modern society. They encourage listeners to explore alternative spiritual practices that resonate with their personal experiences and beliefs, suggesting that a focus on ancestor appreciation can provide a powerful and grounding sense of identity and purpose.

We do “adult” differently. We are That Black Couple. Our goal is to create a space for Black millennials to discuss and embody adult life on their own terms. We aren’t beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, queerness is fluid and present in the ways we show up in our relationships and in the world, and we want to build community with other 30-something Black folx who are trying to figure this ish out.
