    Mother Mine 75: Unintentional

    Mothers can be controversial. They can be wonderful. They can be terrible. They can be both wonderful and terrible in turns. But whatever they are, whatever yours was and is, mothers are universal. Everyone begins with a mother, even if she isn’t around later. In each Mother Mine episode I present one person's stories about their mother — these figures who literally made us. Who are our mothers? What do we remember about them? And how did our mothers — the people who cared for us — shape who we are? The answers to these questions are the stories of love and loss, hopes, fears, and dreams that define us humans. Thank you so much to all of our contributors! And a huge thank you to our Kickstarter Backers. You made this happen and I am so grateful! If you'd like to find out more about the Mother Mine project, you can find all the details at www.outofmanypresents.org. This is the final episode of the Mother Mine Project. Thank you so much to all of our contributors, helpers, and backers. You made this project amazing! Thank you! Mother Mine is produced by Katie Semro in conjunction with Our Mothers Ourselves.

    Mother Mine 71: Aventunera

    In this second half of the project we will be hearing from lots of people around the world whose mother tongue is not English. Although many of them will be speaking in English, there  will be some episodes in other languages, like this one which is in Spanish. To honor the story teller, they will be telling the stories in their own voices, and in their own languages. But there will be versions with English subtitles on the Mother Mine Website: https://www.outofmanypresents.org/subtitled-episodes. Thank you to Santiago Baena for translating this piece, and to Eduardo in Peru for connecting me with the contributor in this episode. Mothers can be controversial. They can be wonderful.
