Insightful and inspiring

It was nice to see the unique connection of women with their mothers , grandmothers .

I've not seen a show like this before .

As a very white middle age women from the Pacific Northwest it was very educational as well .

Thank you for creating this and thankful for the women who shared their story .

Inspiring

Thank you for making this documentary. It was inspiring and enjoyable at the same time. There are many types of black families and we don't all know our roots because of the breakages in family ties. Glad to be able to see your families legacies and strengthening experiences shared. I plan to encourage others to watch, listen and feel your memories!
