What if healing begins by looking back?

This week on The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Nancy Dome—educator, author, speaker, and CEO of Epoch Education—for a powerful conversation about race, historical trauma, healing, and the transformative practice of Compassionate Dialogue.

What does it mean to grow up between cultures—and how do our family histories shape the people we become?

On this episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, I’m joined by author Lucy Wilson Tagoe for a meaningful conversation about identity, belonging, migration, family, and the power of storytelling.

Lucy shares her experience growing up between London and Texas while honoring her Ghanaian heritage as the daughter of a political refugee. Her multicultural upbringing shaped the way she understands identity—and ultimately inspired her writing.

We talk about her novel, The Legacy, and how family history, cultural identity, resilience, and the choices of previous generations can continue to influence our lives.

We also explore why representation in literature matters and how stories can preserve culture, foster empathy, and help us see ourselves—and one another—with greater understanding.

In this episode, we discuss:

🌍 What it means to navigate multiple cultural identities
📖 How family stories preserve history and connect generations
✨ The importance of seeing yourself represented in literature
🌱 How migration and family history shape identity
💬 Why storytelling can create empathy and understanding
🧡 How embracing our roots can help us understand where we're going

Three Takeaways

1. Our cultural identities are strengths—not obstacles.

2. Family stories are a powerful way to preserve history and create connection across generations.

3. Literature can build empathy by inviting us into experiences and perspectives different from our own.

Whether you're an educator, author, parent, cultural storyteller, or someone navigating life between cultures, this conversation offers a beautiful reminder:

Our stories matter. Our history matters. And understanding where we come from can help us better understand where we're going.

What happens behind the camera when the world is watching?

In this episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™, I sit down with Emmy Award-winning journalist and author Amjad M. Tadros, whose more than three decades in international journalism took him behind the scenes of wars, political upheavals, terrorism, and major global events across the Middle East.

Amjad worked as a producer and fixer for CBS News and 60 Minutes, serving as a crucial bridge between international correspondents and the communities they were reporting on.

His memoir, The Fixer: A Journalist’s Accidental Journey Through the Middle East, reveals a side of journalism most audiences never see.

We talk about what a fixer actually does, the importance of cultural context in reporting, what Western audiences often misunderstand about the Middle East, the human stories behind conflict, and how journalism has transformed from satellite television to social media and artificial intelligence.

Most importantly, we explore a question at the heart of cultural competency:

What happens when we tell stories about people without fully understanding their culture?

Join us for a fascinating conversation about journalism, culture, storytelling, technology, and the people who make the world's biggest stories possible.
