Roots Renewed is a podcast about heritage, identity, diaspora, and the ongoing work of reconnecting with who we are and where we come from, especially when parts of the story feel missing, interrupted, or complicated. Hosted by Tami Dee Garcia, the show centers conversations with people from diverse backgrounds who are intentionally navigating identity, heritage, and culture, whether for themselves, their families, or their communities. Each episode explores the influences, histories, and turning points that shape how they reconnect through culture, family, leadership, healing, accountability, or reinvention. This podcast is for anyone navigating identity, diaspora, cultural shifts, or reinvention at any stage of life. You don’t need all the answers. You just need a place to start.
