In African tradition, the elderly, especially ancestors are highly revered for their wisdom which they've passed down for generations through proverbs and even folktales. But in our modern world where patience for instance is more of a luxury than a virtue, relying on the wisdom of our elders may appear to be out of sync with our busy lives. Author and teacher of Malian ancestral traditions, Anna Dao, joins us to talk about how the traditional lessons from her grandmother aided her journey of self-discovery and healing. She also talks to us about her memoir, Finding Lalla's Anna, which expands further on her relationship with her grandmother. And Police in the German city of Dusseldorf bust a local pizzeria that sold more than pizza to its customers.
