When my brother Paul kicked Grandma Eleanor out for not contributing financially, I took her in, driven by love and loyalty. As she rebuilt her life and found unexpected success, Paul’s regret surfaced, but I wondered if it would be enough to mend our broken bonds.
“Rachel, I can’t keep doing this,” Paul said, slamming his cup down on the table. “She’s costing too much.”
“Paul, she’s our grandmother. She raised us, remember?” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. I could see the tension in his jaw, the frustration in his eyes.
“That was then. Things are different now,” he said, crossing his arms. “She doesn’t bring anything to the table anymore. She just sits there, painting and wasting time.”
“Those paintings mean something to her,” I said. “And they could mean something to us if we let them.”

Snoop Dogg’s journey as an artist is matched by his heartfelt role as a devoted family man. Married to Shante Broadus since 1997, Snoop, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has four children: Corde, Cordell, Cori, and Julian. His family has since expanded, as he embraces the role of “Papa Snoop” to his growing number of grandchildren.
One of the most defining moments in Snoop’s life was the loss of his grandson, Kai Love, who passed away in 2019 at just 10 days old. The experience deeply affected Snoop and his family, spurring Kai’s parents, Corde Broadus and Soraya Love, to create the Kai Heart Foundation, which promotes wellness, spirituality, and family connection in Kai’s honor.
Snoop’s journey into grandparenthood began with the birth of his first grandchild, Zion Kalvin Broadus, in 2015. He is now grandfather to six others: Elleven, Cordoba, Sky, Chateau, Symphony Sol, and Kai. Each holds a unique place in his life, and he openly shares how he treasures his grandkids, embracing the “get-away-with-everything” grandpa persona.
Through the highs and lows of family life, Snoop remains grounded, cherishing his family’s bond. His devotion to being a father, grandfather, and mentor demonstrates how family is central to his legacy, grounding him in his roots and connecting him with his loved ones across generations.
