Your mother sounds amazing! And I am so grateful for my college experience to have read Zora Neale Hurston. One of my favorite professors was the first Black female tenured professor at Cal and she was one of my advisors. She was friends with Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou and she had them come speak to our classes. I attribute my desire to minor in African American Studies to Dr. Barbara Christian, Dr. Veve Clark, and Dr. Roy Thomas. I wouldn't be me without that profoundly impactful experience. Celebrating your mother and the women who raised us--today and always!
