A multi-media project to gather and produce every daughter’s memories of mother: to express a wisdom learned from her as a compelling story.
Wisdom Has a Voice: Daughters Remember Mothers will begin a new tradition among women.
Surprisingly, the profound experiences between daughter and mother remain mostly unrecorded, even though this bond is a woman’s primary relationship, at the core of her health and well-being. Giving voice to the complexities of mother-daughter relationships will speak common truths and make meaning of possible discord.
Popular culture in the 21st century offers seemingly limitless opportunities for women while focusing on images of vapid, female celebrity. Yet the trail of self-discovery through the territory of mother-daughter relationships is a rich and rewarding path, and when captured in memoir, can provide a glimpse of the road ahead.
~Anthology of stories will serve to reveal the hidden and important legacies of our mothers. With diverse writers from a variety of backgrounds, we will explore the fundamental events in mother-daughter relationships and how these shaped our lives.
~Audio files of anthology selections and of shorter stories will provide a deeper connection to the personal narratives and their truths.
~Video interviews with our authors will offer a look into the “back story” of each woman’s relationship with her mother highlighted in her memoir.
