Season 6 is upon us! 

After almost 40 episodes of reflecting on our cultural discovery, appreciation, and preservation journeys, we wanted to remain reflective, but allow a bit more fluidity into our guests' stories. And this season we have some unbelievable guests. They are introspective, empathetic, heart-centered, and creative. Yes, all of them. But in different ways... and yet the common thread in all of those traits is how we are with others. Specifically our relationships. 

Have you ever thought about how your relationships are impacted by the lens of your upbringing, culture, and lived experiences? Well our guests this season certainly have! 

We speak to Mita Mallick a corporate change maker who is debunking the myths related to inclusion in the workplace, Eric Michael Hernandez an indigenous hoop dancer who’s TedTalk about his journey is inspiring people to meet their truest selves and with Brittany Muddamalle of “Almost Indian Wife” who’s relationship with her husband’s culture and family means that her mixed children are learning to respect and honour all parts of their whole selves.

What’s most special about these interviews is that they not only inspire, but they leave us with real, tangible advice on how they have become better contributors to society with stronger relationships to the people and institutions around them. How they’ve harnessed their background and experiences, relationship with culture and tradition and become curious about how they can intentionally take what aligns forward.

It’s a lot of “root” and plenty of “seed” this season.  We can’t wait for you to meet our guests, launching Sept 28th.

Hosted by Anika Chabra, Executive Produced by Jenn Sirirpong Mandel and Edited by Emily Groleau & Camille Blais.  We can’t wait to bring another season of Root & Seed.
