The Kinship Hour is a podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to grandmothers who have unexpectedly become parents again due to circumstances like death, incarceration, suicide, mental health struggles, or the fentanyl crisis.
Founder Aarena Green shares her own story—after tragically losing her daughter, she became the primary caregiver for her 28-day-old grandbaby and a five-year-old.
Through this platform, Aarena aims to connect, support, and uplift grandmothers navigating similar journeys.

Two years ago, I faced the unimaginable—I lost my daughter to fentanyl, a tragedy caused when someone put it in her drink. Suddenly, I became the primary caregiver for her 28-day-old baby and a five-year-old, entrusted with their lives and futures.
From this heartbreak, God gave me a vision: to connect with grandmothers like me, who are raising grandchildren under difficult circumstances. The Kinship Hour is a space for grandmothers to share their stories, find support, and inspire one another through resilience, love, and faith.
