meet mom

How do you keep your Mom with you even after she is gone from this earth?

You share her.

No one feels more alive in this life as to when someone is loving them through it. Thank God that someone was my Mom. Her love, her tenderness, her letters, her unconditional cuddles were exactly what I needed growing up.

Mom was my biggest cheerleader and yet, didn’t know how to cheer for herself. She passed away from suicide in 2013 at the age of 66. I was 33. Never diagnosed with anything, never talked about mental health, never wanted any help.

Growing up, I used to ask her…

“What’s the point of life?”

“To give back, my darling, to give back.”

Through painful secrets, generational trauma and constantly learning about my identity, this is my way to honor of her life who gave me mine. Where she is no longer with me, I am still here.

We were Momma & Baby Duck.

We were Ma & Ba.

We were Mrs. Sam and Christmas.

This is my give back show.
