In part four of this bonus podcast series, paying tribute to Black motherhood, I am joined by Marcie Alvis-Walker, Cha Sears-Barefield, Patricia A. Taylor, Dr. Quintrilla Ard and Nya Abernathy as they discuss the theme “In Our Mother’s Gardens.” In this episode the women share their experiences of being multidimensional Black women and how they have fought for dignity in a world that has tried to take it. They share personal stories from their own mothering journeys and talk about some of the hardest chapters where their own lives have been jeopardized . They also share about the legacy their ancestors have left for them and the soil they tend to daily to leave a bounty of dignity for the children that come after them. Because Black women have a history of not getting paid for their time and work, we would like to honor each of the guests for this series and compensate them for their time. We are asking listeners to donate minimum $1 for each episode they download and listen to in this series. Money can be given via Venmo to @herstoryspeaks and all money given in the month of February will be divided equally among the guests for this series.
