It is through sacrifice I know my mother. I have witnessed a woman choosing to place the needs of her children before her own, living in her children, and through her children. We are learning to navigate repercussions of sacrifice as women fulfilling gender-based responsibilities in the domestic space. We are learning how to heal through sacrifice, just the same as her mother did, and her own mother before her. In doing so, I am collaborating with her not only as a daughter, but as women alongside each other.
