Turning Their Holidays Into Ours | Black Thanksgiving Explained

Turning Their Holidays Into Ours | Black Thanksgiving Explained

Thanksgiving was never designed with us in mind, yet somehow we made it our own. This episode looks at how Black Americans take mainstream holidays and remix them into cultural celebrations rooted in survival, memory, music, food, joy, and family dynamics you won’t find anywhere else. From the unspoken rules of the kitchen, to the cousin politics, to the way we turn any gathering into a cultural event—this is the story of how we flip their holidays into ours. We’ll talk culture, history, why we don’t always feel connected to the original meaning of these holidays, and how we still manage to create spaces that honor our lineage, protect our identity, and hold our families together—whether they want to be held or not. — My website: dwannb.com Website shop: dwannb.com/shop To book readings: breakthroughcards.com Twitter: x.com/dwannb Instagram: instagram.com/dwannb Patreon: patreon.com/dwannb
