My friend Jen and I have a similar story: we both grew up thinking we were part Native American. But after a DNA test, Jen's family discovered they were not as native as they thought. Jen and I discuss what it's like to have a cultural identity ripped away and when appropriation is appropriate. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aubrey-jean/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aubrey-jean/support

Exploring the unexpected in who we are... This podcast is about identity and expectations, especially what happens when expectations aren't met... According to family lore, my family is part Native American. But--what if we aren't? I'm Aubrey Jean, and I dive into discussions about family culture, identity, and when it's appropriate to appropriate. Also, what happens when part of our identity is stripped away? Who are we then?
