How does age, roles, and diflecting prevent us from connecting to our older relatives on a deeper level? Recently, I re-watched "Seventeen Again" starring Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housley, and I was surprised to have such a sentimental reaction to specific scenes. 

Having not seen the film in years, I remembered it as fun and simply a Disney classic. However, as a more experienced person, watching it now, it was able to reach me in a deeply emotional place, and I really wanted to share the themes I detected in it. Such as: Generational healing, redemption, destiny, and getting the chance to "go back" for something that was always meant to be. It's as timeless as it is set in a time, specifically the early 2000s, and the theme of generational healing plus the element of jazz was a chef's kiss to my heart. Let's get into it. (This is NOT Spoiler free).
