Episode Description

“Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.” – Lionel Hampton Julia hosts a special Thanksgiving program focused on gratitude and thankfulness. Julia tells the true history of the first Thanksgiving, which is a bit different from what we were taught. This is a “Truth-giving”. instead of celebrating the myth, we celebrate the truth. Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude—and Julia encourages us to reshape this holiday by choosing to learn, honor, and share truths to respect Native cultures and stories. Choose a holiday that doesn’t just celebrate harvest and family, but also honesty, empathy, and justice. Reporters Kirpa and Milan talk about the meaning of gratitude and share what they are grateful for. The power of gratitude encourages living in the present moment. Family and friends always top the gratitude list, but also include gratitude for health, democracy, and freedom. Find your way to practice gratitude, give back, and share the love! Have a happy and bountiful Thanksgiving. We are grateful for YOU! Thanks for tuning in to Express Yourself!® Teen Radio!
