About this listen

In a poignant and powerful memoir, David takes us on a compelling journey through his childhood and adolescence in 1970s and 1980s Baltimore. Dear Mama: A Journey Through Poverty, Race, and Resilience is a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of his mother, who navigated the challenges of raising her children amidst poverty, racial discrimination, and personal turmoil.

Through vivid storytelling, David recounts the pivotal moments that shaped his life and his family's trajectory. From the early years marked by his father's betrayal and the subsequent struggle for survival, to the profound impact of relocating to a racially tense suburb, each chapter unfolds with raw honesty and emotional depth.

David's narrative is not just a recollection of past events but a reflection on the enduring strength, resilience, and sacrifices of his mother. He delves into the complexities of identity, the harsh realities of systemic racism, and the transformative power of education and community support.

Dear Mama is a story of survival, resilience, and the unyielding bond between a mother and her children. It is a testament to the power of love, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of a better life against all odds.

Join David as he pays homage to his mother's legacy, uncovering the profound lessons she imparted and the lasting impact of her unwavering dedication. This memoir is a tribute to all those who have faced adversity and emerged stronger, offering a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations to come.
