#20: Boy Mamas

I'm starting to think seriously about being a mother and this episode hit me so deeply. So deeply, I held it close to my chest for a month - walking with it + meditating on the nuggets that were shared. The experience of motherhood is so nuanced. I appreciated the beautifully raw stories shared by Liku and Jasmine. I'm forever grateful that these sisters WENT there with me.

As a bit of background, Liku was the woman who helped the notion of sisterhood at scale for me. Jasmine was the woman who first gave me the opportunity to help heal young teenage girls who had become jaded to the thought of sisterhood, as I once had. 

It's beautiful to be reminded of how much I love what I do. My work is an extension of the air that I breathe. With this episode, I am reminded that I am leaving a mark for all who come behind. In America, it may be difficult for us to know where we came from... but my children will know that they they came from me. And knowing that... will be such a force.
