It's the Mothers Who Will Fight

Happy Mother's Day, my friends!

I cannot help but think of my own mother today. In fact, I’ve been thinking about her all week. I’ve even been talking to her all week. Yes, I have. Even though she has been gone more than a decade, I still turn to her for guidance.

I’ve been asking her this week for her thoughts about life, motherhood, and the patriarchy. I’ve also been asking for her thoughts about politics, being a change agent, and where we as women find ourselves in 2022. My mother was a warrior, a firebrand, and a change agent herself. She had to be because she had a vision much larger than herself in life.
