S3 Ep10 How Do You Grand? Breaking the Grandma Stereotype with Suzette Perez-Tate

What does it really mean to be a grandparent today? In this inspiring episode of The 2.0 Grandma Podcast, Dr. Marsha McLean sits down with Suzette Perez-Tate, a modern-day grandmother from Southern California, creator and co-author of The Grands: Modern-Day Grandparent children's book series. When Suzette became a grandmother, she quickly realized she didn't fit society's traditional image of what a grandparent was "supposed" to look like or be. Rather than conforming to outdated stereotypes, she embraced a new perspective—one built on authenticity, diversity, and the belief that "You define your legacy." Suzette shares how her personal journey inspired The Grands series, a collection of children's books that celebrates today's grandparents, diverse families, and the unique bonds that connect generations. Through stories filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments, she encourages families to embrace their own traditions and create legacies that reflect who they truly are. Join us for an uplifting conversation about breaking stereotypes, celebrating modern grandparenthood, and discovering the many beautiful ways to leave a lasting impact on the next generation.
