Dr. Sabine Thomas - Empowering BIPOC Families Through Culturally Mindful Wellness

Dr. Sabine Thomas, Executive Director of JSOL STUDIOS, joined us on The Day With Trae. Host Trae Holiday spoke with Dr. Thomas about the organization's groundbreaking program, "Anchoring Our Roots." This initiative focuses on nurturing the parent-child relationship by empowering grandparents through coaching, education, and community-building.


Dr. Thomas emphasized the program's focus on grandparents, stating, "We really, really, really wanted to focus on our grandparents. This gift that our elders are offering to our little ones...is exactly what we want to do." The program recognizes the vital role grandparents play in the family unit and seeks to support them in their legacy of love, guidance, and cultural transmission.


Upcoming events on November 30th and December 19th will specifically address the needs of grandparents in the Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities. These conversations will offer tools, skills, and connections to further nurture and support grandparents in their caregiving roles. Viewers are encouraged to watch the full interview for a deeper dive into this impactful program.
