More Than One Truth

Ayisha Elliott

A mother and daughter, 27 years apart, one kitchen table in Spain, and rarely the same opinion. We packed up our lives and moved countries. Since then we've been working out what home means, who we are when nobody knows our story, and what it's like to be seen, or not seen, in a new place. We talk about all of it: the move and why we made it, Spanish life and its quirks, race and belonging, love and heartbreak, and the complicated, tender, sometimes hilarious work of being a mother and being a daughter. One of us is a Sagittarius who says the thing out loud. The other leads with a Cancer rising heart that feels it first. Between the bluntness and the tenderness, we've learned that two people can live the same moment and both be right. Expect honesty, laughter, the occasional argument, and conversations that go deeper than you planned. Pull up a chair. There's always more than one truth.

    Goodbye

    This week is the last episode of the podcast. This project has been healing and important for me, and now it is done. The old episodes will remain available for you to listen to and revisit over the years, but now is time for me to say goodbye.  I want to leave you with one final thought: now is the time to move forward into uncertainty with moral clarity. If you need permission to stay steady in your truth, then here it is. Give what you can to this GoFundMe to provide hot meals to Palestinian children in north Gaza: https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily  Donate to www.anera.org and if you are in the US go to www.uscpr.org and www.jvp.org for education and prompts for taking action to support Palestine.  MECA is on the ground to provide Gaza with medical aid, clean water, food, psychological support, and more.

    Come Out

    This week is the beginning of the end for this podcast. I’ve realized that the creative loop that inspired this project has closed and it is time for me to move on to the next one. We’ll close out the month of October together, and then you’ll have to come find me on Substack to know what happens next! Before we part ways, let’s talk about why this podcast started, what it healed for me over these last several years, and what the next phase of the journey of healing is going to look like.
