On Mother’s Day, celebrate the power of the grandmothers.

Grandmothers connect us to the past, and show us the future.

Grandmothers do not come only by virtue of who we are born to, but also by virtue of who cares for us, who holds us accountable, who sees past our generation to the next.

Grandmother energy is in our friends, aunties, daughters, and moms, from every woman who has seen where we come from and where we are going, and decided to share her wisdom with the rest of us.

Grandmothers are our salvation. Celebrate Granny Power today and every day.
