When host Khalil Ekulona thinks about his purpose in life, he often thinks of my family. Family is where we get our first lessons and introduction to the world. On Episode 22, Khalil enters conversations with his family about the meaning and purpose of familial love, support, and collective dedication to passing those lessons along.
Whatever Khalil and his siblings' individual interests were, their parents encouraged their kids to go and experience them. And they keep it going for a new generation. You'll hear from his mother, his father, four of his siblings and four of his cousins. This extended online version of the episode includes many more of the gems embedded in these conversations. We hope you enjoy this retrospective on a dynamic family where righteousness, spirit, drive and a well timed joke are the only currencies that matter.

YOUR NM GOV: This week, we caught up with Harold Pope Jr., the first African American state senator in the Legislature's 109-year history. Your New Mexico Government is keeping you up to date with everything that happens at the roundhouse in collaboration with New Mexico PBS and the Santa Fe Reporter. We've got daily updates for you now through the end of the session. Find them on this website, or on No More Normal's podcast feeds.
NEXT WEEK: February, the shortest month of the year, is not enough to fit the breadth of Black history, so we are going to continue with our show on Sunday, March 7, where we look into Black storytelling. How do stories shape the world and the future? We talk with some of the sculptors.
