About this episode
Why do families keep passing down the same struggles—and how do we finally break the cycle?
In this episode of Shaping Freedom, Lisane Basquiat sits down with Pulitzer Prize finalist Lee Hawkins and Emmy Award-winning producer P. Frank Williams for a powerful conversation about generational trauma, financial literacy, identity, and the stories we inherit.
Together, they explore how history shapes the way we parent, work, build wealth, and define success. They discuss why emotional healing is just as important as financial education, the courage it takes to ask difficult family questions, and how changing one generation can transform the next.
This conversation is an invitation to stop surviving, start healing, and create a new legacy rooted in freedom, purpose, and possibility.
