  • Before the new season begins, we return to where Trevor's story was first written, South Africa.

  • In the laughter and struggles of childhood lie the roots of who he became.

  • These are the tales we gather now.

  • Our journey begins where Trevor's family always began.

  • With prayer.

  • In the townships, prayer was more than faith.

  • It was identity.

  • A reminder of where you belong.

  • This is the awkward part.

  • How you start a conversation.

  • It's the worst part of every conversation.

  • Why don't we start with a prayer?

  • This is actually why our grandmothers started meetings with prayers.

  • Oh yeah, to cut the awkwardness.

  • Yeah, because it's to cut the awkwardness.

  • You can't just come together and be like, your son has a drug problem.

  • And your husband is cheating.

  • If you start with a prayer.

  • But it was also a Township Power move.

  • Because everyone here will know whose house this is.
