This week on C&C, one of us is back from the homeland... and slightly shook. We’re talking about what happens when you see your parents outside their usual parental role, fully in their element, living their best lives, and being unapologetically themselves. It’s wholesome… but also lowkey disorienting. Like wait, who are you??

We also get into the whole “missing culture” conversation and why that’s never really hit for us. Growing up in Toronto’s diaspora? The culture was loud, present, and very much in our business at all times.

It’s identity, perspective shifts, and realizing your parents are actually… people. Weird.
