"Poverty had exhausted my mother. The compounded concern of day to day debt mixed with the orchestrated occupational oppression of Black people in Pittsburgh made her circumstances appear inescapable. She struggled to cope with an adulthood she found fundamentally unfulfilling. Adding the pressures of parenting to the situation only intensified her irritation. We were a constant reminder of life's limitations, financial, physical and otherwise." Of Mothers & Daughters explores the matrilineal bond, exposing the forced evolution of women into well-makers, and how it strips mothers of the right to be wrong. Of Mothers & Daughters lifts the veil from our vow to perfection, fearlessly wading through the woes of womanhood from birth to birth.
Autorenporträt
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, better known as the Mississippi of the North, Arah's unconventional upbringing helped hip her to the literary genius of international award-winning writers like Chinua Achebe, Tony Morrison and Ben Okri, all of whom had a profound influence on her writing style. Arah is a lifelong writer who first began her exploration of the art of storytelling in the third grade. Imposter syndrome survivor and former self defeatist, she spends her time penning literary pieces on popular culture, social justice issues and human behavior. She lives in Houston, Texas with her loving family.
