As a young woman who was raised by a single mom and her grandma, after being named in honor of three generations of grandmas, I felt like I was part of this family. The family unit the women have created is unbelievably relatable in terms of emotions, the strain of conflict, the village mentality in raising children, and the recognition of their strength and empowerment as women. What a beautiful story to be shared with, I hope, many generations of women to come.
