In this episode I share an excerpt from my unpublished book "All That is Good".
While it is common practice in the Black community for children to be raised by extended family members, studies show that children who experience life with absent biological parents drop out of high school, with 40% being Black female students. Meanwhile, all females, especially Black females need to hear more stories about Black women who have overcome obstacles to achieve educational, personal and professional goals to help inspire wisdom and resilience.
Chapter 9 introduces the complexities of motherhood that I faced after I became a mother for the first time, after loosing the only mother who took care of me, Mama (my maternal great-grandmother) and the forced relationship I had with my biological mother. Intense therapy helps me to understand trauma-filled bonds and begin to sort through what type of mother I want to be. I share journal entry from 10/23/2000. But in truly military fashion, my husband gets orders and it is time to relocate again. How will I sift, sort and decide how to cope?
