In this episode I share an excerpt from my unpublished book "All That is Good".
While it is common practice in the Black community for children to be raised by extended family members, studies show that children who experience life with absent biological parents drop out of high school, with 40% being Black female students. Meanwhile, all females, especially Black females need to hear more stories about Black women who have overcome obstacles to achieve educational, personal and professional goals to help inspire wisdom and resilience.
Chapter 1 sets the stage to describe my life growing up in rural Kentucky and the impact of being raised by my Great-grandparents, who I affectionately called Mama and Daddy. My biological mother moved to North Carolina when I was a toddler, around the same time my biological father was murdered. Despite any family hardship, I had a good upbringing, even if it wasn't ideal. My foundation was good, even if my mindset was weak.
