š Why I Started Calling My Grandparent Every Week During Heat Waves (And What It Taught Me)
Last summer, I was living through the hottest July on record in my city. My grandmother was across the ocean in a place without air conditioning, alone, managing a heat wave I could barely imagine from my apartment.
I called her once that week. She said she was fine.
She wasn't fine. She was lonely, hot, and waiting.
That moment changed how I think about distance, temperature, and time.

Inside the course, you'll learn:

šæ Heat Survival Wisdom ā the cooling foods, traditional remedies, and body practices your grandparent's culture developed before air conditioning existed
š 150+ Storytelling Prompts ā specific questions that unlock memories your grandparent has never been asked about
šļø How to Build a Shared Digital Ritual Journal ā a permanent family archive of stories, recipes, language, and history
