Welcome back to Powered by Nyame! This week's episode focuses on mother's love, being a mother, and mothering--the actions of mother that flows from mother's love. I share personal experiences, along with the anonymous experiences of others, beginning most appropriately with my mom, Elaine! A person's experiences can't speak for others, but it can speak to others. I hope mine will be insightful but also invite discussion around this topic. Let me know what you all think. Stay well.

"Follow the Drinking Gourd" is a folk song that originated during the time of slavery in the United States. It served as a coded message to help enslaved people escape to freedom along the Underground Railroad. The "drinking gourd" refers to the Big Dipper constellation, which points towards the North Star, Polaris, a guiding light towards the north and freedom. Morgan Freeman, the acclaimed actor and narrator, has narrated or discussed the song in various contexts due to his interest in history and his involvement in projects related to African American culture and heritage.
