    Hoodoo Voodoo

    Hoodoo Voodoo

    Today's episode is a fun one, as well as slightly educational. The African-American experience in Louisiana, and many other parts of the country, were unique when it came to medicine. Due to racism, black people could not simply go to a hospital or a doctor. Instead, they found home remedies, and yes, voodoo. Mother explains this history and some unique stories surrounding her ex-husband and her father. Enjoy.

    Vicki Clark

    Vicki Clark

    As I'm sure many of us have, Mother had a tremendous friend in Vicki Clark. However, through the death of one of her children, and her battle with cancer, Vicki's life was difficult. For a time, Mother took Vicki in to her own home and cared for her while Vicki was very sick. This is a story that spans decades and is one of love and friendship. Enjoy.

    Uptown Girl

    Uptown Girl

    Being from South Central Los Angeles, Mother had never experienced any type of lavish lifestyle. That all changed when she met Reverend Ike. Before she knew it she was eating caviar and picking out dresses from fancy Beverly Hills stores. She has a fondness from this time period in her life that I hope everyone gets to experience at some point in their lives. She is smiling throughout this entire episode, and even though it's only audio, you can see it.

    Jim Jones and Christine Miller

    Jim Jones and Christine Miller

    The Jonestown Massacre, orchestrated by Jim Jones, is an infamous part of U.S. history. On November 18, 1978, 909 people died, most of whom took their own lives at the request of Jim Jones. One of those people was Christine Miller. Mother knew both Jim and Christine, but Christine was a good friend and mentor. In today's episode, Mother relives that experience and tells you what it was like meeting Jim Jones, as well as why Christine Miller was important in her life.

    The Atlanta Murders

    The Atlanta Murders

    Between 1979 and 1981 there were close to 30 children that were murdered near the Atlanta, Georgia area. The entire country looked on frightened and confused, waiting for the police to capture somebody. These feelings were felt even in California. In today's episode, mother discusses how she and her family dealt with the Atlanta Murders, and how the black community responds to police. It is a pretty wide ranging conversation, hope you enjoy.

so done ,

👎🏾

Kind of wish Mother didn’t share some of this information but I guess she didn’t know. I don’t think her grandmother ever shared the tradition with her. It’s a shame the son in-law is exploiting the religion of our ancestors and turning it into a joke. Not a fan of this episode. Hoodoo is not witch craft it’s who we are and it’s beautiful and yes powerful.
