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.

    Not From Here. Not From There. Finally From Somewhere.

    She was adopted at birth and spent decades not knowing where she was from. At 21, a one-page letter told her she was Ecuadorian. Then a DNA test connected her to a nephew her husband had known for ten years.

    In this episode, Ariana Quinones talks about claiming Puerto Rican when she had no other country, walking into a town in Ecuador where everyone looked like her, the tattoo she got before she understood what she was claiming, and the phone call that finally brought her home.

  • The Only Difference Between You and Me Is a Stop on the Ship

    The Only Difference Between You and Me Is a Stop on the Ship
    Apr 7 2026

    Some people talk about reconnecting the African diaspora. Today's guest has spent thirty years actually doing it.

    Dr. Omowale Crenshaw grew up in San Francisco with deep Louisiana Creole roots. He went to Howard University where the world opened up for him. His name, Omowale, meaning the son who has returned after a long journey, came from his father's Yoruba roots and the Black consciousness movement that shaped his family.

    In this conversation Omowale talks about what it felt like to land on the African continent for the first time as an African American, why the only difference between the diaspora across continents is a stop on the ship, how his corridor principle has taken him from San Francisco to Nigeria to Cuba to Colombia to Rwanda, and what he is building to leave behind for future generations.

  • Nobody Was Making Room for African Diaspora Designers. So She Did.

    Nobody Was Making Room for African Diaspora Designers. So She Did.
    Mar 31 2026

    Nobody was making room for designers from the African diaspora. So, she did.

    Anika Hobbs is the founder of Nubian Hueman in Washington DC, a retail space centered on designers from the African diaspora. She built it in 2013, before any of this was trending, after asking herself why she could find the same white shirt anywhere in the world but could not find Black designers on a shelf.

    In this conversation Anika talks about growing up African American not knowing where the African part came from, the DNA test that gave her a guide star, bringing her lineage to her 104 year old grandmother before she passed, how fashion became a gateway for people to reconnect with their heritage, and what it cost her to build something the world was not ready for yet.

    Watch the full episode on YouTube for Anika's walk through the store and the stories behind every piece. Search Roots Renewed on YouTube.
