Listen "Open Arms for our Nieces and Nephews"
Episode Synopsis
Rena Zapata explores the meaning of being an auntie as a role defined by open arms, shared responsibility, and deep emotional care. Through reflections on growing into the role at a young age and learning when to step in, guide, or simply be present, the speaker highlights both the joy and fear that come with loving children who are not your own. Anchored by memories of her Aunt Letty, the story honors aunties as steady guides who do what needs to be done—offering comfort, honesty, and unconditional love across generations.
