\\u201cTwo of my heroes are mother and my grandmother\\u2026My mother taught me to be a woman. She was the strongest person I\\u2019ve ever met. And someday I\\u2019ll be the woman she wants me to be\\u201d - Tracy Hyter-Suffern

It\\u2019s complicated. Mothers. They\\u2019re sometimes cast as heroes and role models, often as victims or villains. In almost 40 conversations with other old bitches, mothers emerge as essential to the fabric of so many parts of our histories, our present and our futures. Drawing from those conversations, we\\u2019ve pulled together a few clips to share with you, from Inca Alexandrina Mohamed or Joy Kane talking about their mother\\u2019s dreams for them or Maya Wiley talking about her fears for her teenage daughters. So, on this Mother\\u2019s Day, take a minute to listen to this episode of Two Old Bitches with a mother, a daughter or someone else who you can talk to about the place of mothers in our lives. And, consider supporting the mothers and families who have been separated at the border. Check out www.familiesbelongtogether.org and the \\u201cUntil Every Family Is Reunited\\u201d campaign.
