My mother is many things, educator, mother, mentor, girl scout leader, Sunday school teacher, Gamma Phi Delta Sorer, Union leader, NAACP branch president, People’s community Service board member, co-worker, Church board member, Hamtramck Library board member, School Board member, and many other positions that I’ve failed to mention. But, true to heart, she’s a poet, and I’m sharing two poems she shared with the family on Christmas. One of my family members refers to her as the Maya Angelou of our family.
