We aren't rich or famous. We aren't owners of land passed down by our ancestors. We weren't born with financial trusts made in our names. But we are here and we matter. We work hard. We love hard. We take care of our own. We take chances and make bold choices. We break the mold and fight against the grain. Some of us are pioneers away from home. Some of us are artists and musicians. All of us accept our truths and we’ve learned to live a life worth living and never give up. Of all of the things we may or may not be, one thing will never change. We are a Black American family ...and these are our life stories.https://www.robinson4215.comyesserialMy Auntie EllaMy Auntie EllaLet's listen to the incredible story of my Auntie Ella and her story about her parents, her family, and her children.

This podcast almost didn't exist. Auntie Ella was incredibly difficult to get on the phone for a podcast, but I never gave up on her.

They never loved each other nor hated each other, but they made sure to love and support their son, Me.

Although, they have NEVER kept a strong connection between each other for longer than the time they made me, I succeeded in getting them both on a podcast together to talk and recall their shared memories of raising me.

This is the closest we've ever been, ever have and ever will be together. That's why I call it the MOST LEGENDARY PODCAST I ever recorded.
