AWI Voices With Impact presents: Othered Mothers

Motherhood has been called the most thankless and important job there is. A mother’s job is to teach, counsel, pay for, feed, clean, entertain, heal, love, and nourish their children. For mothers raising children in a foreign land these roles are made more difficult through language and cultural barriers, generational differences, and conflicting value systems. In this session, filmmakers Fan Sissoko, Ziyao Liu, and Thea Loo explore the impacts immigrant mothers can have on their children’s mental health.

“I’m hoping to share this with my village of support to see how we can open more conversations on how we deal with and interact with our own moms and continue to support each other around these situations that often feel like they have no resolution or are too big to even be tackled.” "
