We were all born into a system we didn’t create — but we all play a role in whether it continues.

Inspired by Why Don’t You See What I See: Breaking the Cycle of Systemic Racism, authored by co-host Adia Holmes, "Inherited Stories" extends the conversation beyond the page. Co-hosted by Adia and Elisha, this podcast creates space with grace for growth — inviting candid dialogue about systemic racism, blind spots, and the behaviors that sustain or interrupt inequity.

This is not a space for shame or silence — it’s a space for clarity, courage, and consistent action.

    3 Oct 2026

    When choosing where our children go to school, we often look at ratings, test scores, academics, and the reputation of the district.

    But what if you have to consider more?

    In this episode, we talk about how race, neighborhood, income, belonging, and the experiences of Black students shape the way families think about where their children go to school. We explore the things some families may never have to consider—and how the system we inherited can influence what we see as a “good” school.

    Because sometimes, the question isn’t just How good is the school?

    It’s What does “good” mean—and who gets to define it?

    19 Sep 2026

    In this episode, Elisha and Adia reflect on a powerful conversation with Adia’s late 101-year-old grandmother about the other side of desegregation and the profound loss of community that followed. Her perspective challenges us to look beyond the story we’ve been taught and consider what we may have missed.
