Genesis of a literary awakening, a discovery of self, an affirmation of voice, and these whole woman journeys. GambiaAt50 : A Tribute To The Sheros Of Our Journey To Independence. I celebrate a force that is too often forgotten. When we share the stories of our journey. Our struggles, our negotiations, the final agreement. That brought us freedom on that fateful day, 1965. This force she was a Mother. To the founding fathers and their brothers. She raised, nurtured, and cared for. Blessed and prayed for.
