Roots to Routes with Anand Dattani
I collect defining stories from across generations - even those that are no longer with us. Why? To see what we have, and what we can learn from them, and how our modern culture has evolved since their time. How? By speaking to mission-led entrepreneurs and creatives - founders, actors, artists, authors, you name it - about the lives and stories of their previous generations and how those have shaped who they are today and the legacy they’re now looking to build upon. My aim is to uncover the hidden influences that guide us, the lessons we inherit, and how we can use them to shape the future ahead of us. This show is sponsored by Lifetimes - a digital legacy platform dedicated to helping you capture, preserve, and share the memories you want to live on. https://lifetimesapp.com

Welcome to the Journey Onwards (or TJO for short).But what is it, and why did I create it?In the 1970s, the seizure of power in Uganda by Idi Amin, and subsequent forced mass exile of foreigners, resulted in some fascinating tales for many members of my family. This series is a chance for me to find out more about the trials and tribulations of each of them, from childhood memories to the current day, and share these with the world, so that these stories and the lessons learnt have their own journey onwards through all its listeners.In honour of the family members that are no longer with us today, here is my gift to you - a way for the family legacy to live on for the generations to come.
