Becoming a Matriarch by Helen Knott

This meet-up will be a week early, as September 29 is the Awards of Excellence co-presented by the CCAWR and Congress of Black Women-Waterloo Region.

Having lost both her mom and grandmother in just over six months, forced to navigate the fine lines between matriarchy, martyrdom, and codependency, Knott realizes she must let go, not just of the women who raised her, but of the woman she thought she was. Woven into the pages are themes of mourning, sobriety through loss, and generational dreaming.
