Kayla is joined by journalist, finance expert, and author Carmen Rita Wong to talk about her extremely personal memoir in which she unpacks the complicated relationship with her parents and own identity. It wasn't until after her mother's death that Carmen learned the truth of her biological father and to the extent in which her parents went to feed the lie. She reflects on how her mother's mistakes impact her own intentional parenting and how to understand parents as the individual humans they are without forcing forgiveness.

On this re-play of Tamarindo, we speak to Carmen Rita Wong about her memoir, “Why Didn't You Tell Me?”. She is a former CNBC television host and the founder and CEO of Malecon Productions, LLC, where she develops female-focused media and entertainment. Her memoir is now available on paperback and it's a fantastic read! Through our conversation that centers around her memoir, we talk about themes present in many of our family stories, from racism to cultural erasure and the role of family secrets. Carmen talks about how often our adult lives are spent healing, breaking cycles, and reconnecting with ourselves as a result of toxic family upbringings. We also take a moment to acknowledge and denounce the vile anti-black and anti-indigenous audio leak from L.A city council members and speak to what we hope this moment can bring in the form of activism and healing.

This week on Our Body Politic, Farai Chideya revisits some of her favorite conversations with three authors. She starts with award-winning journalist, producer and author Danyel Smith, whose book Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop offers insight into Danyel's career in music journalism and highlights Black women's seismic - and sometimes underrated - influence on the world of pop music and business. Farai also talks with MacArthur Grant Award winner, Harvard professor and author Tiya Miles about one family heirloom from the enslavement period that remarkably stood the test of time. Then, Farai interviews Carmen Rita Wong, writer, journalist, finance expert and author of Why Didn't You Tell Me? A Memoir. Wong candidly shares how discovering a series of family secrets surrounding her heritage led her to re-examine her race and culture and forge a new path for authentic self-discovery.

She was the co-creator and television host of On the Money on CNBC and was a national advice columnist for Glamour, Latina, Men's Health, and Good Housekeeping.

Rosie speaks with Rod Stryker about taking accountability for a mistake as someone in a position of authority.Owning up to mistakes is always a grueling process. It's even multiplied when there's a power differential in the dynamic. Trust is a critical element that binds people to authority figures. The gravity of crossing boundaries and breaching this trust is seen and felt on a larger scale. Rod walks us through the process of repair, self-reflection, taking accountability, and the lessons he learned from making a grave mistake as an authority.This episode is brought to you by: Remedy+Use code 'Rosie20' is up and running.

Your identity is the most critical piece of yourself. You carry it to every place you go and in everything you do.

How do you begin to embrace who you are after a lifetime of trying to fit in and find your place in the world? Author Diego “Yung Pueblo” Perez joins Rosie in this episode.

Author and journalist, Carmen Rita Wong, grew up believing that her father was “Papi” Peter Wong, a Chinese American man. At least, that's what her Dominican mother, Lupe, told her. But as Carmen's mom neared the end of her life, family secrets came to the surface, sending Carmen on a search for answers. In her memoir “Why Didn't You Tell Me,” Carmen dives into her family's story — picking apart how race, class, and gender shaped the often difficult decisions she and her family had to make. In this intimate conversation, Carmen shares some of the childhood memories that shaped her, and talks about how the act of memoir writing can feel like a radical practice of empathy.

Today, we are speaking to Carmen Rita Wong,  a writer and author of the recent memoir, “Why Didn't You Tell Me?”. She is a former CNBC television host and the founder and CEO of Malecon Productions, LLC, where she develops female-focused media and entertainment.  Her new book centers around a big family secret.
